# Event Details - **Event Name**: Winged Gardeners: How Fruit-eating Birds Shape Singapore’s Forests - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 05 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Wed, 05 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for an insightful afternoon about native bird species and how their fruit-eating behaviour shapes local ecosystems!About this EventForest are more than just trees. They are living systems shaped by interconnected relationships between plants, wildlife and the environment. Among these relationships, seed dispersal by fruit-eating animals, or frugivores, especially birds, plays a vital role in supporting forest regeneration, biodiversity, and resilience in the face of climate change and urban pressures. But what fruits do birds eat, how do researchers uncover these hidden ecological interactions, and how can communities and everyday citizens play a role in supporting conservation in Singapore?The Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions (CNCS) is excited to host a public talk exploring the role of frugivorous birds in Singapore’s tropical forest ecosystem and the importance of biodiversity conservation in urban landscapes. The session will feature seed dispersal ecologist and doctoral researcher Ms Fung Tze Kwan, who will share highlights from her research on plant-frugivore interactions in Singapore’s forests, and how these insights can inform ecological restoration efforts that better support biodiversity and long-term ecosystem health. This will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Dr Charles Marsh, Research Fellow from CNCS with Ms Fung, Dr Chong Kwek Yan, Deputy Director, Forest Ecology, from the National Parks Board and Mr Movin Nyanasegaran, President of the Bird Society of Singapore. Supported by HSBC, this public talk offers a window into how collaborative science is uncovering these crucial plant-animal relationships and why these interactions matter for forest and biodiversity conservation. It will be followed by an expert panel discussion on the importance of long-term ecological monitoring, field research experiences, the role of collaborative research in supporting conservation, and ways the public can help protect Singapore’s native wildlife and green spaces. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/clementi/winged-gardeners-how-fruit-eating-birds-shape-singapores-forests/100001992100376853 - **Event Categories**: business, health-wellness, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: NUS University Hall (Auditorium at Level 2) - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: SGD ## Event venue details - **city**: Clementi - **state**: SG - **country**: Singapore - **location**: NUS University Hall (Auditorium at Level 2) - **lat**: 1.297324 - **long**: 103.7778695 - **full address**: NUS University Hall (Auditorium at Level 2), 21 Lower Kent Ridge Road, Clementi, Singapore ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Winged Gardeners: How Fruit-eating Birds Shape Singapore’s Forests - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/a06e49f2c340a2040a3babe5884e067ac81df637c03a1736e9d5886383d03bb7-rimg-w1200-h600-dcfcf9f3-gmir.jpg?v=1784996964 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Winged Gardeners: How Fruit-eating Birds Shape Singapore s Forests being held? - **A:** Winged Gardeners: How Fruit-eating Birds Shape Singapore s Forests takes place on Wed, 05 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Wed, 05 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm at NUS University Hall (Auditorium at Level 2), 21 Lower Kent Ridge Road, Clementi, Singapore. - **Q**: Who is organizing Winged Gardeners: How Fruit-eating Birds Shape Singapore s Forests? - **A:** Winged Gardeners: How Fruit-eating Birds Shape Singapore s Forests is organized by NUS Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
