The National Parks Board recognises the importance of research in increasing the level of knowledge of Singapore’s wildlife. Scientific research provides crucial information needed for strategic planning, management, decision-making, identification of information gaps and basis for establishing programmes for long-term ecological monitoring and sustainability of biological diversity. 

To facilitate research, permits are issued by NParks. In addition, NParks will assess whether the research involves activities which require approvals under the Parks and Trees Act (“PTA”), Parks and Trees Regulations (“PTR”) or the Wildlife Act (“WA”), and where appropriate, consider granting the relevant approvals together with the research permit. 

You can submit your application via the Research tab in our online system. Please refer to our user guide for more details. The acknowledgement section that needs to be signed by team members can be downloaded here.
