Singapore’s largest biodiversity event returns with interactive exhibits, workshops, and community activities.

The Festival of Biodiversity, Singapore’s premier event dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness of the nation’s rich natural heritage, will take place on 31 May and 1 June 2025 at The Plaza, National Library Building. Organised by the National Parks Board (NParks) in collaboration with the Biodiversity Roundtable, the festival aims to engage the public through a variety of activities designed to foster appreciation for local biodiversity.

Since its inception in 2012, the Festival has served as a platform for over 20 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and interest groups to showcase their efforts in biodiversity conservation. Building on the success of the 2024 edition, which attracted more than 16,000 visitors, this year’s festival promises an even more engaging experience with expanded community involvement and new collaborations.

Attendees can look forward to a range of activities suitable for all ages, including nature-themed workshops, storytelling sessions, craft activities, and interactive games. In partnership with the National Library Board, the festival will also feature curated collections on nature and biodiversity, providing educational resources for visitors interested in learning more about Singapore’s natural environment.

The festival aligns with the International Day for Biological Diversity, observed annually on 22 May. This year’s theme, “Harmony with nature and sustainable development,” underscores the importance of biodiversity in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

NParks and its partners are committed to promoting the vision of a “City in Nature,” where urban development and biodiversity conservation go hand in hand. Through events like the Festival of Biodiversity, they aim to inspire individuals and communities to take an active role in preserving Singapore’s natural heritage for future generations.
