SINGAPORE - Nature groups say that Lazarus Island has the potential to become a role model for eco-tourism – as long as new developments planned for the island continue to be led by guidelines for the protection and understanding of nature.
Other new amenities and activities such as a convenience store, overnight glamping and non-motorised water activities are to be launched in phases by around June. She added: “If nature groups are able to work closely with the developers to do that in a carefully calibrated way, this place could be a role model for eco-tourism and can give the nature community the confidence that development and conservation can co-exist in Singapore.”
He said: “What we’re after is how to role model responsible ways to protect nature through whatever activities we enjoy… The hope is that these activities can be a good ‘eco-class’ on how to have fun while also being mindful of the environment.” Dr Jani Tanzil, senior research fellow and deputy facility director of SJINML, said that she was grateful that SDC engaged stakeholders over its tiny homes proposal, to reduce the impact of construction on the environment.
