Editor's Note

Singapore is a major metropolis – with towering skyscrapers and shopping malls made of glass and concrete. We are all familiar with this description of our island in the sun, but did you know that Singapore is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna?

This issue, we invite you to walk on Singapore’s ‘wild’ side by visiting the recently opened Kranji Marshes. We also introduce you to some interesting ‘neighbours’ – the rich wildlife that live in our backyard – as well as some native plants that literally have roots in this land of ours!

As we approach the middle of the year and upcoming school holidays, we also find time to bask in the sunshine and enjoy the facilities found in our parks and gardens. And we offer you a very special sneak preview of the Singapore Garden Festival, coming up in July 2016.

As always, there are so many places to explore, and so much to do, so let’s get going!
