BFF Challenge: Burning Questions LIVE w/ a Wildlife Educator

Overview

Singapore is an urban jungle, known for its hustle and bustle. But amidst our towering skyscrapers and modernity, we can marvel at a diversity of wildlife, sometimes right from our own backyard! In a tiny city state, how can we encourage people and animals to live in harmony? 

Meet Cyrena, a Senior Manager at NParks’ Wildlife Management & Outreach Branch. As a Wildlife Educator, she engages people from all walks of life, about how to appreciate and interact responsibly with urban biodiversity. 

So fire away any Burning Questions you have about our urban wildlife, and nature outreach in Singapore.
