Total per capita expenditure on the preservation, protection and conservation of all cultural and natural heritage, by source of funding (public, private), type of heritage (cultural, natural) and level of government (national, regional, and local/municipal)
(a) Cultural Heritage:
Guided by the national strategic masterplan Our SG Heritage Plan, the National Heritage Board administers various initiatives to safeguard and promote Singapore's cultural heritage, including the preservation of Singapore's national monuments and first UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the management of the national inventory of intangible cultural heritage and national museums. In addition, the Urban Redevelopment Authority has developed policies, incentives, and guidelines to facilitate building conservations by building owners.
(b) Natural Heritage:
Although Singapore is a small island city state with one of the highest population densities in the world, it is a home to rich biodiversity and ecosystems that span a whole range of natural habitats such as primary dryland forest, tall secondary forest, freshwater swamps, rocky shores, mangroves, mudflats, seagrass beds and coral reefs. Singapore's efforts on biodiversity conservation to retain natural areas while integrating biodiversity into the urban environment as much as possible, are guided through the implementation of key strategies, including the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2009, updated with national targets in 2019), the Nature Conservation Masterplan (2015), and the City in Nature vision (2020).
