Marina Bay Sands has announced a significant contribution of $1.1 million (S$1.5 million) over three years to the Mandai Wildlife Centre, Singapore's latest facility dedicated to the rehabilitation of rescued native wildlife. This funding marks one of the resort's largest commitments to biodiversity conservation, underscoring its dedication to protecting wildlife and enhancing ecosystem resilience.
The Mandai Wildlife Centre, operated by Mandai Nature, offers a purpose-built environment for the care and rehabilitation of native species. Located within Rainforest Wild Adventure East, the Centre features a viewing gallery that allows visitors to observe veterinary care and rehabilitation processes, fostering public appreciation for local biodiversity.
Assistant Vice President of Sustainability and ESG at Marina Bay Sands, Meridith Beaujean, expressed the resort's enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to support partners such as Mandai Nature in protecting Singapore’s native biodiversity.” The collaboration aims to extend nature education beyond the Centre, offering bespoke experiences and learning opportunities to deepen awareness of wildlife conservation.
Mandai Nature CEO, Sonja Luz, highlighted the importance of the Centre, saying, “Mandai Wildlife Centre marks an important step forward in strengthening Singapore’s role in wildlife rehabilitation and conservation.” The Centre expands Mandai Nature’s capacity to deliver tailored treatment for species such as the Sunda pangolin and reticulated python.
Beyond this initiative, Marina Bay Sands actively engages in responsible sourcing and habitat-sensitive practices, collaborating with organisations like the World Wide Fund for Nature Singapore and Hutan in Malaysian Borneo to support ecosystem preservation. These efforts reflect the resort's commitment to integrating luxury hospitality with environmental stewardship
