šŸ…šŸ…The Tiger’s World

A RIMAU and NuVista Film Production

Step into the shadows of the Malaysian rainforest, where a hidden world comes alive.

Birds call, insects buzz and mammals move through the dense foliage. Yet much of this extraordinary drama remains unseen. Through the lens of remote cameras, The Tiger’s World reveals the secret lives of the animals that inhabit this ancient ecosystem—and brings us closer to the elusive Malayan tiger.

Each tiger’s unique stripes tell a story. Camera traps help conservationists identify individuals, understand their behaviour and follow their movements through the forest.

But this world is increasingly under threat. Poaching poses a serious danger to tigers and other wildlife, while human activity continues to put pressure on them and their forest home.

🧔Yet there is reason for hope.

Journey with us into the tiger’s world and discover the challenges these magnificent cats face—and the people working to protect them.

Come find out why there is still hope for the Malayan tiger.

🌸Special Guest:
Ms. Lara Ariffin, President, RIMAU

The Tiger’s World is a RIMAU and NuVista Film Production and an Earth in Focus Satellite Event, organised by Singapore Wildcat Action Group (SWAG) and sponsored by Cicada Tree Eco-Place. Grateful thanks to our venue partner, Singapore Botanic Gardens.

We Say No to the Proposed Reclamation of Singapore’s Southern Islands

The waters around Pulau Bukom, Pulau Sudong, Semakau Island, Pulau Hantu, Pulau Jong and Pulau Sebarok support ancient coral reefs, seagrass meadows and diverse marine life including dugongs, turtles, sharks and giant clams.

These ecosystems are part of Singapore’s irreplaceable natural and cultural heritage. Once lost, they cannot simply be recreated.
We urge the Government to reconsider the proposed reclamation and explore alternatives that meet Singapore’s future needs while protecting our marine ecosystems.

Protect Our Last Wilderness
Under threat!
Maju Forest of Singapore

ā€˜Protect Our Last Wilderness’ is a conservation campaign since 2019 by Cicada Tree Eco-Place. It highlights the pressing need to prevent the disappearance of the island’s last remaining wilderness areas, which are an important buffer against the effects of climate change. Protecting them is our moral responsibility.

Singaporeans are slowly but surely awakening to the pressing need of protecting our last wilderness areas on land and in the sea.

Celebrating Singapore’s 61st Birthday in Nature

This National Day, Cicada Tree Eco-Place celebrated with our annual nature walk, this year at Rail Corridor — slowing down, looking closer and appreciating the wild Singapore around us.

We were delighted to spot four Blue-crowned Hanging Parrots feeding on powderpuff flowers, a flock of juvenile Asian Glossy Starlings, a Yellow-vented Bulbul, catfish, and many beautiful flowers and other flora and fauna. We were even serenaded by a cicada looking for love — turn up the sound and listen!

A heartfelt thank you to our volunteer guides Tan Hang Chong, Lifang and Dr Vilma D’Rozario, and to everyone who joined us.

Singapore’s natural heritage is part of our national heritage too. Let’s continue to notice it, appreciate it and care for it.

See you again at our National Day Walk next year!
