Apply for a research permit

We recognise the importance of scientific research in increasing the knowledge of Singapore’s biodiversity.

Scientific research provides crucial information for strategic planning, management, decision-making, identification of information gaps and a basis for establishing programmes for long-term ecological monitoring and sustainability of biological diversity.

To facilitate research, we issue permits and assess whether research activities require approvals under the Parks and Trees Act, Parks and Trees Regulations or the Wildlife Act. We can grant these relevant approvals together with the research permit if applicable.
