Be a part of Singapore's new natural history museum!

You CAN contribute to building Singapore's new natural history museum! A website has been launched to accept donations from the public. Your gift will help to create a museum that we all can be proud of! Currently, the public can only get a glimpse of less than 1% of the total collection of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, at its tiny but well-loved public gallery. So it was great news to hear that we will soon get a new natural history museum. With massive space to showcase our wonderful biodiversity! $24million is needed by June to make this a reality!

Tell me more about the new museum!

Biodiversity matters: thank the 'weeds' for our clean water

It's easy to love cute furry creatures, or even ugly icky ones if they are rare. But biodiversity is more than just attractive animals. The diversity of life includes even unseen lifeforms and dull boring ones like 'weeds'.

And why should we care about 'weeds'? Why does biodiversity matter?
