Beyond urban streets, Singapore recognizes the importance of trees for its native wildlife and biodiversity. Trees serve as homes for numerous animals, including native bird species like parrots and hornbills that nest in hollow trees, and provide food and shelter for insects and pollinators.
The introduction of resilient tree species also plays a key role in ongoing conservation efforts. Maintaining a healthy, diverse urban forest ensures that ecological functions—such as habitat provision, climate regulation, and biodiversity support—continue despite challenges.
