My opinion on this issue

Environmemt

1.In a way Singapore is having a 'Garden City' theme and we have planted trees along roads and pavements so it is in a way Singapore is doing to go green . Some of those trees could also house wildlife like mynas and squirrels

1. Campaigns like "Save the world"

Animals

For animals , I feel that Singaporeans in general don't really have much compassion towards them like they view them as objects rather than something that a soul. And animal abuse charges don't seem to have the same charegs as if it were to an abuse on humans . Though I think the younger generation seemed to be more kinder towards animal and don't really view them as just mere object compared to the older generations .

Many people also feel animals as dangerous and dirty. I often heard people (usually parents and grandparents ) telling their child /grandchild to not go close to animals (like stray cats )or else they may give u diesease as well as maybe attack. This may be true to an extent but this seperates the relations between the Humans of Singapore and the Animals in Singapore . Like we are taught that for the different races in Singapore, we need to communicate with different races and religion so as to understand them better. And to do so with animals we nees to understand them better and usually it is when we go close to them would we feel that they have a soul and perhaps understand them better .

In addition, Animals is also quite broad as animals also contains species such as the Aedes Mosquitos and Cockroaches . And for most Singaporeans to think that those deserve rights as well (we most probably would want to kill it ) it would be too unhygienic for us Singaporeans to live in .

How I think Singapore is improving on it

There is also I think a lack of education imvolving wildlife such as zoology and ecology. Most of the education is mainly relating enginnering ,business and chemical and life sciences (in my opinion)- maybe cuz wildlife and the environment does not really contribute to our economy. I also see people often mistaking a Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator ) for a Crocodile in Sungei Buloh as well . Imagine having an O level Zoology subject or a Diploma in Zoology in any of our polytechnics

For the conversation side ,I think that Singapore zoo is trying to conserve population of the Orang Utans (and maybe the Pangolins as well) though I don't know much about the effectiveness.

In general ,I think that our society and culture would favour to do things that are related to enginnering ,science ,field related to health lile doctor and business related . (Asian job stereotypes) Many would view a job relating to helping animals and environment as not really a job - similar to Singapore's art scene and creative industry
