Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Bukit Panjang, Singapore
The Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (abbreviation: BTNR) is a nature reserve near the geographic centre of Singapore. It is located on the slopes of Bukit Timah Hill, the country's highest natural peak standing at approximately 165 metres (541 ft), and includes parts of the surrounding area within the planning area of Bukit Panjang. The nature reserve sits about 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) north-west from the Central Area, Singapore's city-centre, and is roughly 2 km2 (0.77 sq mi) in size. Together with the neighbouring Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR) in close proximity, it houses over 840 species of flowering plants and over 500 species of fauna. Today, it is one of the largest patches of primary rainforest left in Singapore. The forest reserve was formally declared as an ASEAN Heritage Park on 18 October 2011.
