NParks' international links

Biodiversity loss is a global crisis that requires multilateral cooperation and concerted effort by every country.

Representing Singapore, NParks is the National Focal Point of the Convention on Biological Diversity. We also foster strategic partnerships with other international organisations to:

• Facilitate collaboration on the conservation of biodiversity across national boundaries.
• Share our experience and expertise in urban biodiversity conservation.

Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is a framework international agreement that aims to conserve biodiversity, promote the sustainable use of its components and ensure the sharing of benefits from the use of genetic resources.

Singapore became a party to the CBD in 1995. NParks serves as the national focal point, representing Singapore at the CBD.

National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan

As part of our commitment to the CBD, Singapore developed its first National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) in 2009 to guide our efforts to conserve biodiversity. This first version was updated in 2019 aligned with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
