WELCOME


Formed in 2019, SWAG is a registered non-profit run entirely by volunteers. We are passionate about the conservation of wildcats around the world like tigers, cheetahs, clouded leopards, and the leopard cat. 


We believe in taking meaningful action to achieve our mission: to build a network of supporters for wildcat conservation, and raise funds to save the critically endangered Malayan Tiger.


Key Activities:


  • Raise awareness of wildcat conservation through regular lectures, and an annual conference on tigers.
  • Take action for wildcats, for example, participating in Citizen Action for Tigers (CAT Walk) and painting a community mural to raise awareness about leopard cats
  • Educate children about wildcats, and nurture a love for wildlife 
  • Raise funds for the Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers through various fundraisers and the sale of SWAG merchandise.

CATWALK in Singapore!

SWAG x Catmosphere: Catwalk Singapore


The annual Catwalk organized by Catmosphere is a global walk of up to seven kilometers designed to raise awareness of our collective wellbeing through stories of seven big cat species (leopard, tiger, jaguar, snow leopard, lion, puma, and cheetah) and their conservation challenges. Since 2021, this global mass-participation event has inspired more than 90,000 people in 136 countries to walk more than 250,000 kilometers for wildcats.

In February 2024, SWAG, with support from the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Singapore, hosted the inaugural walk in Singapore to highlight the conservation of tigers and leopards.


Singapore and Malaysia, Saving the Malayan Tiger Together

The primary goal of Singapore Tiger Week is to spur action against the illegal wildlife trade and poaching that is decimating tiger populations across Asia, and closer to home, where the Malayan tiger is close to extinction. Additionally, it aims to strengthen the cooperation and collaboration between Singapore and Malaysia towards saving the Malayan tiger from its imminent extinction. 


This event was held in conjunction with Heart for Nature celebrating World Animal Day, and Our Wild Neighbours campaign, and is supported by National Parks Board, Singapore, and the Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions, National University of Singapore. We were thrilled to have His Royal Highness, the Regent of Pahang, Crown Prince Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah Ibni Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustapha Billah Shah and Minister Desmond Lee, Minister for National Development and Minister-in-Charge of Social Services Integration, as our Guests-of-Honour for this event.


Singapore Tiger Week brought together stakeholders in combatting the illegal wildlife trade and poaching, the conservation community and supporting agencies, embassies of ASEAN countries based in Singapore, other international embassies interested in contributing to tiger conservation, private sectors keen on biodiversity conservation, and the general public.


With better understanding of the main threat to tigers and networking with the relevant stakeholders across the two nations, our conference participants strengthened tiger conservation by responding to the call to specific actions. 


Eminent speakers from Malaysia and Singapore were invited, representing government and non-government organisations in the fight to save the Malayan tiger. Each of our speakers brought with them great value to the topic at hand, and showcased it from different perspectives.


SWAG believes that the conservation of the Malayan tiger is as close to your heart as it is to ours and we believe that together, we can make a difference to save the Malayan tigers from the brink of extinction.

CAT WALK PLUS


Citizen Action for Tigers (CAT) Walk Plus is a unique citizen conservation program that empowers the public to get directly involved in protecting the Malayan Tiger and many other threatened wildlife that share the same habitat.


By participating in a CAT walk, you make a positive impact on the continued survival of the Malayan Tiger. Walk the Sungai Yu Ecological Corridor to deter potential illegal activities like poaching and illegal mining just by your presence. Look for wildlife signs like Malayan sun bear tracks and listen out for white-handed gibbon calls from the forest canopy. Help check and maintain trail cameras installed by MYCAT to monitor abundance of wildlife!

LEOPARD CAT CAMPAIGN

SWAG is launching a campaign to increase public awareness of the only wildcat species remaining in Singapore, the Leopard Cat. This locally critically endangered species can be found on our offshore islands of Tekong and Ubin, and on main island of Singapore in the Western Catchment and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.


Leopard Cats, being one of the top predators in Singapore, play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of our forests. Since the extinction of tigers and leopards here, the Leopard Cat is a national treasure symbolising the last wildcat we have left on this little red dot.


This campaign aims to increase public awareness in hope to conserve them for our future generations.
