The Nature Society Singapore (NSS) has raised concerns over the zoning of Dover Forest for residential use, citing the need to protect animal and plant species, and create more green spaces for the public.
The area is in a 33ha Ulu Pandan estate, home to at least 158 animal species, including critically endangered ones, and 120 plant species.
On Friday (Jan 15), NSS posted on its Facebook page a 13-page proposal to the Housing Board (HDB). In the proposal, NSS argued for the Dover Forest to be designated as a “public-cum-nature park” instead.
