1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Urbanisation, climate change,
illegale wildlife trade

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and invasione of alien species
are increasingly threatening

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the life span of wildlife species.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wildlife conservati in is not only about

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the survival of plants and animal species,

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but also educating people
on living harmoniously

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with wild species and their habitats.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wildlife conservcation

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
can be further broken down

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
into in-situ and ex-situ conservation.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The once endangered Singapore-native
Oriental Hornbill saw hope

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with the Singapore Hornbill Project.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The installation of artificial nest boxes

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
provide a safe environment for breeding.

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The Hornbill has since returned
to significant numbers.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In Singapore, places such as our zoo,

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the botanical gardens and seed banks

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
protect local wildlife

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
outside their natural habitats.

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Did you know that Singapore
has 5 guiding principles

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to support wildlife conservation?

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For wildlife to thrive in Singapore,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
safeguarding our biodiversity
is fundamental

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Singapore's nature corridors

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
connect our green spaces

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for wildlife to thrive
in forested patches,

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
parks, trees and shrub-lined routes.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These corridors act as a safe highway

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for wildlife to intermingle

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and live in their natural habitats.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Singapore also recognizes
the importance of policy

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in wildlife conservation.
