Singaporeans aged 16 to 34 are more inclined to support wildlife conservation than their older counterparts
However, many of the younger people said their biggest barrier to taking action was not knowing where to start
An official from Wildlife Reserves Singapore said getting started can be as simple as volunteering
Younger Singaporeans are far more likely than their older counterparts to support wildlife conservation, a survey has found.
The Conservation Sentiments Survey, released on Thursday (Oct 1), found that half of Generation Z respondents, those aged 16 to 24, supported conservation efforts — more than double the 20 per cent of Generation X respondents, aged 45 to 54, who did so.
The survey, which was commissioned by Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) and conducted in May this year, polled more than 1,000 Singapore residents aged 16 and above. The results come ahead of World Animal Day on Sunday.
