Singapore launches a long-term forest ecological monitoring plot network in Central Catchment Nature Reserve, involving 60 plots for tracking forest health. Researchers measure trees, tag seedlings, and monitor wildlife using technology like camera traps and acoustic sensors. The initiative, launched by National Parks Board (NParks) in May 2022, aims to protect and restore the country's remaining rainforests, and the third-year surveys are providing valuable data for forest ecologists.
