What we are doing
The Singapore Index, initially designed to measure biodiversity in urban environments, provides a valuable framework for assessing and enhancing urban biodiversity.

This project aims to localize the Singapore Index (SI) and apply it to Chinese cities, encouraging them to capture baseline biodiversity data.
