Pleased to officially open the Tropical Montane Orchidetum at the Botanic Gardens’ National Orchid Garden this morning. This project started in 2017, and the results are most impressive!
Three display houses – the Yuen Peng McNeice Bromeliad Collection, the Tan Hoon Siang Mist House, and the Sembcorp Cool House – have been expanded. They and their surrounding outdoor areas make up the Orchidetum.
Here researchers can study these plants in depth, aiding conservation and research efforts. Visitors can see 1,200 species of orchids and hybrids – many rare and endangered – up close. The experience is like ascending a tropical montane forest, one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world.
Orchids are an important part of Singapore’s heritage. I spent a very enjoyable morning admiring and learning about so many varieties of orchids.
Thank you to the NParks team and sponsors for your hard work and passion, rejuvenating the Orchidetum and giving it new life! – LHL

Remember the elephant from last week episode?
Can Bertie and the Wildlife Rescue Unit regain the strength and track it again? Well there's always a silver lining ☺️ and you don't want to miss the happy ending of this ' wild wild' experience!
Ps. Thank you SZtv for making us listen to an elephant's snore :) !

The BORNEO ECO FILM FESTIVAL is excited to present the speakers from MESCOT! MESCOT (Model for Ecologically Sustainable Community Conservation and Tourism), located at the Lower Kinabatangan region in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, was awarded best Homestay Project at state and national levels in 2003, Best Homestay at the 2009 Sabah Tourism Awards, and won Innovative Homestay (Best contribution to Malaysia’s Rural Economy) at the 2010/2011 Malaysia Tourism Awards. KOPEL received the award for Excellent Cooperative Sabah in 2007 and the National Cooperative Award (Tourism Services) in 2011. Based at the Batu Puteh village, MESCOT has in the last 15 years refused to allow over-logging, conversion of forests to oil palm and forest fires to stop it from rehabilitating severely degraded areas, and has also completely removed a water weed that had choked an ox-bow lake.
