Singapore's green spaces are teeming with life. This talk explores the legal frameworks safeguarding our native flora and fauna. Explore the Singapore Biodiversity Act and Parks and Trees Act, and learn how they protect endangered species and urban ecosystems. The discussion will cover real-life scenarios like encountering protected wildlife or illegal plant removal. The audience will gain insights on their individual and collective roles in upholding biodiversity within their neighbourhoods.

Join us as our moderator, Sadhana Rai (Head of Representation, Pro Bono SG), and speakers, Dr Joseph Chun (Partner, Shook Lin & Bok LLP) and Ganesh Kumar (Chairman, Woodlands Botanical Garden), as they discuss on how you can play an active role in upholding biodiversity within your neighborhood.

Law Awareness Weeks @ CDC 2024 (LAW@CDC 2024) is a collaboration between Pro Bono SG and the five Community Development Councils, National University of Singapore Faculty of Law, Singapore University of Social Sciences School of Law, Singapore Management University School of Law, the Singapore Association of Social Workers and the Singapore Corporate Counsel Association Pro Bono Chapter, supported by the People’s Association.
