Singapore Oceanarium plays an important role in species conservation through the ethical and sustainable management of our animals under our care. Through participating with international zoo associations and collaborating with like-minded aquariums, we support international breeding programmes and population management best practices. We continuously work towards placing threatened species under our care to have the best opportunities for conservation and population recovery efforts in the wild.

The rapid degradation of natural habitats due to anthropogenic causes and climate change is, inevitably, the primary driver of biodiversity decline worldwide. Protecting and restoring these habitats is more critical than ever to prevent mass extinction of species. 

Singapore Oceanarium’s efforts are rooted in “place”, in sites of socio-ecological importance. On top of its research, animal care and conservation capabilities, Singapore Oceanarium also strives to position itself as a place for education, outreach and connection.

People are at the heart of conservation. Protecting our blue planet is a combined effort - involving the shared knowledge and expertise of our collaborators, partners, team members, and even the public. Singapore Oceanarium strives to empower individuals and organisations to learn from one another, develop capacities and and expand our circle of network for a positive, lasting impact for our oceans.

Policy provides the foundation for sustainable, long-term impact - dictating the allocation of national and international resources, as well as keeping stakeholders accountable for their actions. 

Singapore Oceanarium aims not only to play its individual role as a driver of conservation, but also to influence policies that guide businesses, governments and international bodies in our collective fight against biodiversity loss.
