Community in Nature Schools Awards
The Community in Nature (CIN) initiative was launched in September 2011 to connect and engage communities in conserving Singapore’s natural heritage. Recognising that educational institutions are important community stakeholders in biodiversity conservation, CIN started reaching out to schools in 2014. Since then, the programmes have diversified to meet the needs of various educational levels, from pre-schools to junior colleges. The CIN schools outreach efforts have now come to maturity, where many of the participating institutions have become increasingly competent in the area of biodiversity conservation.
The Community in Nature (CIN) Schools Award is a biennial recognition scheme to acknowledge, appreciate and celebrate the works of our schools, as well as to motivate educators and students to contribute to local biodiversity conservation efforts. It aims to:
- Encourage stakeholders from the education sector to take on a more active role to conserve our biodiversity.
- Provide a networking platform for schools to share and exchange biodiversity-related knowledge and experiences.
