National Parks Board

The National Parks Board (NParks) is a statutory board under the Ministry of National Development (MND) and is responsible for enhancing and managing the urban ecosystems of our City in Nature. We are the lead agency for greenery, biodiversity conservation, and wildlife and animal health, welfare and management. We are also working closely with the community to enhance the quality of our living environment. NParks manages some 400 parks, 3,347 hectares of nature reserves, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Pulau Ubin, and the Sisters' Islands Marine Park. Adding to this is the extensive network of Nature Ways, and over 300km of Park Connector Network that links major parks, nature areas, and residential estates island wide. Every year, we run over 3,500 educational and outreach programmes across our various green spaces. We have developed an urban biodiversity conservation model, which aims to conserve representative ecosystems in land-scarce Singapore. We also monitor and coordinate measures to enhance the presence of biodiversity in our urban landscape. NParks is working closely with partners in the landscape, horticulture, veterinary and animal sectors to increase productivity, and provide training for all levels of the workforce. Enhancing competencies of the industry will support Singapore's vision of being a City in Nature. Want to grow our City in Nature together? Visit nparks.gov.sg for more.
