Introducing our guest speaker of the month: Timothy Heng, the first Singaporean and Asian anti-poaching ranger in South Africa!
Timothy is an adventurer, mountaineer, and founder of The Outside, a Singapore-based company that makes trekking and expedition experiences accessible to everyone. In 2023, he became the first Singaporean and Asian to complete an intensive anti-poaching ranger training programme in South Africa, gaining first-hand experience of the challenges faced by rangers on the frontlines of wildlife conservation. Set in challenging environments of the African Savanna, where preparation and decision-making are critical, the training offered a rare look at the physical, mental, and ethical demands placed on the rangers tasked with protecting wildlife.
Through his expeditions and training programmes, Timothy focuses on building meaningful connections with nature and supporting long-term conservation initiatives, helping others engage responsibly with the natural world.
Join us at the Hollandse Club Singapore on 26 March as Timothy shares first-hand accounts of what patrols in active conservation areas really look like. He will also reflect on how the experience reshaped his understanding of conservation, shifting the focus away from sharing interesting content online towards taking more direct action on the ground.
