This document discusses nature conservation efforts in Singapore. It begins by listing some natural areas in Singapore and noting that there are still some native species found there, such as coral reefs and dolphins. It then discusses what constitutes "nature" and different approaches to conservation. Several conservation groups in Singapore working on issues like terrestrial and marine conservation are highlighted. A case study of Chek Jawa wetlands discusses how public awareness and opposition helped defer a large reclamation project there in the early 2000s. The talk emphasizes the importance of public participation and involvement of different stakeholders in conservation.
