Although with high density population and highly urbanized, almost half of the country is covered by greenery. About quarter of land area of Singapore makes for forest and natural reserves. As a matter of fact, urbanization has eaten up most primary rainforest. Singapore tour packages will include Bukit Timah Nature Reserve which homes the major part of remaining forest. Even though little of primary rainforest is left, there are more than three hundred parks and four nature reserves in Singapore. Many trees are also planted in Singapore. This resulted in fifty percent of country being covered in greenery and because of this Singapore is commonly known as ‘Garden City”.
