Also part of the project is the development of two new wildlife parks - a Rainforest Park and a new Bird Park - plus nature-themed indoor attractions, accommodation offerings and green public spaces.These will augment the existing Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and River Safari to form a new integrated wildlife and nature destination at Mandai.
Each zone is made up of a strip of land 45m to 50m-wide, protected from any development works. Together, they comprise 15 per cent of land set aside for the Mandai project.Connecting the bridge to the buffer zones instead of the actual nature reserve ensures that the infrastructure does not encroach into the reserve. To cross the bridge, wildlife will have to travel from the Central Catchment Nature Reserve to the buffer zone.
Another function of the bridge is to promote movement of animals to allow them to breed with each other, improving the genetic diversity of species. When planting is completed, MPH estimates that the bridge will have more than 31,000 plants, with a mix of more than 1,000 native trees and 30,000 shrubs.
