Green Pulse Ep 32: Desmond Lee on balancing development and
conservation in land-scarce Singapore


12:45 mins


Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The
Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing
environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate
change. 


Singapore aspires to be a City in Nature, with plans afoot to
conserve its green spaces and infuse nature into the urban
setting. But the perennial tussle between development and
conservation will remain.


In the third and final episode of The Straits Times’ interview
with National Development Minister Desmond Lee, hear how the
Government will aim to better strike this balance. 


They discuss the following:
How science and technology can help inform conservation
decisions (2:27) Taking a landscape approach to ensure ecological
connectivity in Singapore (4:02)  Nurturing a consultative
approach between nature groups and policy-makers (5:34)  How
Minister Lee himself will urge both policy-makers and nature groups
to listen to one another (8:59)

Listen to the first and second parts of the interview with
Minister Desmond Lee on Green Pulse.
