Description

Despite its tiny size and highly urbanised landscape, Singapore is home to an amazing diversity of life. While land-use pressures, habitat destruction and climate change threaten the island's fragile ecosystem, surprisingly, wildlife in Singapore continues to thrive and, oftentimes, even flourish. This first comprehensive guide to nature in Singapore is written by the city’s foremost authorities on the natural environment, and describes more than 40,000 species of flora and fauna that make up the island’s biodiversity. While this reference work is academically rigorous – based as it is on the latest data and fieldwork – its richly illustrated presentation is eminently suitable for a wider, non-specialist readership. The encyclopedia comprises two parts: the first comprises a collection of essays outlining issues relating to biodiversity, ecosystems and sustainability; the second part of the book is a comprehensive A-Z directory of over 1,500 entries, covering virtually every known organism found in Singapore.
