Much information is now available on global climate change, including some frightening predictions which we do not look forward to. Temperatures and sea levels are expected to rise worldwide while many areas will receive less rain. What then will happen to the remnant biodiversity and natural vegetation of Singapore as well as South-east Asia? In this talk, we explore likely changes in Singapore's flora and fauna by the year 2030 and 2050, going by current predictions of expected environmental changes. Would our rainforests still remain as it is, given fragmentation and a different climate? Are our forest birds still going to be around? Which species will survive and what should we do now?
This talk is open to the public.
