Naturally, For Our Own Good
Solving climate change doesn’t always require technically advanced methods. Singaporean professor, Koh Lian Pin, is leading the way with nature-based solutions.

“WE MUST GET people to understand that we are not doing this to save wildlife or even the planet, it’s to save ourselves,” states Professor Koh Lian Pin, director of Singapore’s Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions (CNCS), on why everybody needs to get on board with the issue of climate change.
It was the internationally respected scientist’s desire to make a difference and look for solutions to this global crisis that led him to return to Singapore, after 16 years abroad, to set up CNCS.
“I came back because this is where I can play a big role; I can use the experience and expertise that I have gained overseas,” continues Koh, whose career has taken him to institutions in Switzerland, Australia and the US.
A firm believer in technology, he has conducted a TEDx talk on the benefits of using drones in conservation work and founded Conservation for Drones, a non-profit organisation that arose from his hobby of flying remote control planes while based in Zurich.
