Creating a future where nature, wildlife and people thrive

About Mandai Nature

Mandai Nature is the conservation arm of Mandai Wildlife Group (MWG) and was established in December 2020 by Temasek and MWG. Based in Singapore, Mandai Nature receives funding and in-kind support for MWG.

Our purpose is to see a sustainable world where wildlife and people thrive together in healthy ecosystems. We aim to be the trusted wildlife conservation organisation in Asia, with a focus on protecting threatened species from extinction, protecting and restoring ecosystems, and creating benefits for local communities.

We deliver impact through multiple roles:

• Catalyst: We catalyse and enable conservation field programmes and research to be delivered through partners. We co-design solutions and research projects, as well as support partners through grants, expertise, and conservation networks.
• Builder: We build conservation, research and management capacity of local and national NGOs, students and academics, and other stakeholders.
• Convenor: We convene partnerships and host multi-stakeholder collaborative alliances to address critical conservation outcomes.

Mandai Nature proudly hosts the IUCN SSC Center for Species Survival: Southeast Asia, the IUCN SSC Asian Species Action Partnership (ASAP) secretariat as well as the IUCN SSC Conservation Planning Specialist Group (CPSG) Southeast Asia Resource Centre.
