In a world increasingly shaped by screens, concrete, and technology, have we lost touch with the very environment that sustains us?
Join us for an interactive panel session curated by The Habitat Foundation, where we rethink what it means to be human in a modern world. We’ll explore why staying connected to nature remains fundamental to our well-being and how we can foster that bond within our cities and for the next generation.
The Panelists
Bernard Harrison (Former Director of Singapore Zoo): The visionary behind the Mandai Wildlife Reserve, sharing how zoos and gardens can awaken our innate curiosity about “wild things.”
Justine Vaz (Executive Director, The Habitat Foundation): A geographer and practitioner who believes that preserving wild places like the Al Sultan Abdullah Tiger Reserve is essential for human wellbeing.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nadine Ruppert (Primatologist): Discussing “Nature Next Door” and what urban primates can teach us about intelligence, adaptability, and the art of coexistence.
