A field guide to the little red dot's wild half
A hand-illustrated, taxonomically organised guide to the trees, birds, and land animals sharing this island with 6 million people — from the dipterocarp giants of Bukit Timah to the otters working the canals of Punggol. Tap a zone on the map, browse the taxonomy, or search a name to begin.
Where to find them
Singapore's biodiversity concentrates in a handful of nature reserves, coastal reserves, and green corridors. Tap a point on the map — or a zone in the list — to filter the guide to species recorded there.
Classification
Organised by kingdom, class, order, and family. Plant groupings follow modern APG clade classification (Monocots / Eudicots) rather than the old Linnaean "class," which botanists retired for good reason. Tap any species to jump to its specimen plate below.
Tip: filtering by zone or group above also narrows this tree.
Specimen plates
Each plate is a stylised naturalist illustration, not a photograph — built this way so every entry stays visually consistent and citation-free. Use it to learn silhouette and shape; pair with a photo app in the field for confirmation.
