Protecting Singapore’s Urban Bio Resilience: DP Green’s Yvonne Tan Speaks with Channel News Asia

Following recent news regarding the gathering of durian fruits at Lorong Lew Lian and unauthorised clearance of saplings near Lower Peirce Reservoir, DP Green director and Singapore Institute of Landscape Architects (SILA) president Yvonne Tan spoke with Channel NewsAsia’s Singapore Tonight on the ecological significance of Singapore’s Parks and Trees Act. Yvonne highlighted how the premature or selective removal of plant matter disrupts food availability for urban fauna such as birds, butterflies, bats and squirrels, undermining the natural cycles that underpin Singapore’s vision as a City in Nature.
