In Singapore for Edutech Asia, I was taking in the sights and came across the
EcoTrain Educational Centre. This is a carriage from Singapore's metro, set up as an environmental display for children. Outside I bumped into
Associate Professor Adrian Loo, Deputy Director of the
NUS Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions, who explained the
Microforest, being established next to the center. What makes this remarkable is it is a very narrow former garden, between a metro station, a busy road and a major shopping center, and yet you find lush growth and wildlife. There are lessons here not only for the children the center is aimed at but for us all.
