New Housing Plans for Maju Forest Get a Green Signal, With Nature Safeguards Needed

Nature groups welcomed revised plans for Maju Forest and Gillman Barracks in Singapore, which retain more greenery, with Maju increasing from about 8ha to 10ha and Gillman from about 8ha to 12ha, reducing housing by 1,200 units. They praised ecological connectivity and called for nature parks, but urged strict environmental safeguards, monitoring, and measures to limit disturbance and wildlife competition.
