How can we ensure a “sustainable tomorrow”?
How do we live sustainably, without damaging the natural environment on one hand and without stunting our economic growth on the other hand?
Can we really achieve the elusive goal of sustainable development on this tiny Singapore island?
Well, it is said that the best conservationists are the indigenous tribes, who live off the land and take only what they need from the environment, without harming it.
Alas, we no longer have any indigenous peoples in our midst whose lifestyle we can emulate, no thanks to aggressive urbanisation and industrialisation, which has all but wiped out over 90% of the original rainforests.
Then again, we can probably learn from our primate friends, such as long-tailed macaques, who live mainly in the nature reserves and nature parks.
They can survive and thrive without damaging or polluting the forest.
Can we learn to live in harmony with Nature just like our animal friends?
