Recognising the importance of Singapore as a regional hub for business, policy and innovation, Conservation International Singapore, Ltd., an affiliate of Conservation International (CI) announces the opening of its office here. CI Singapore will  provide science based advice to businesses and governments on policies and practices for environmental protection and sustainable economic development.  With Singapore’s growing importance in the world of business and policy, the office will also serve as the center of regional outreach for the Asia Pacific region. 

Mr Jonathan Kua, Director, International Organisations Programme Office at the Singapore Economic Development Board welcomes the establishment of Conservation International's office in Singapore to further advance its work in environmental protection in the region. “We are happy to support CI's presence here.  As Singapore grows as a global business, research and innovation centre, it is critical for us to work with leading international organisations such as CI.  They can also leverage our strengths to further their mission including the development of private and public sector partnerships in the Asia Pacific.  This is in line with the growing understanding of the importance of environmental and sustainable business practices among governments and corporations. The growing presence of other international non-profits -- over 80 now, will also provide good opportunities for sharing and collaboration for CI.”

Aligning itself with CI's global strategy, CI Singapore will leverage Singapore as a base to carry out its work of securing global climate stability, protecting sources and flows of freshwater, ensuring sustainable food sources, minimising environmental pressures on human health, and preserving the role of nature in human clultures.
