 ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION. Miniature moths in Yio Chu Kang Crescent Forest - 19 Oct 2022 are seen again but less than ten in numbers. This is due to loss of habitat by regular tree pruning, grass cutting of the forest path, thermal fogging to control dengue fever degrading the environment for the past months. North-South Corridor (Viaduct) construction nearby in Lentor Ave will be in progress for the next few years, adding to habitat loss. Dragonflies, damselflies, moths, butterflies and spiders have had disappeared in the past months.

DEGRADATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN SINGAPORE

the process by which something is made worse, esp. the quality of land: One of the effects of environmental degradation is the absence of fiss.h in that river or butterflies in the public gardens like the Forecourt Garden, Esplanade where is rare to see a butterfly nowadays.

The local authority schedules regular anti-mosquito insecticide fogging of residential estates in Singapore. This method appears to drastically reduce the number of mosquitoes inside the house and outside, from my observation. I seldom get bitten by mosquitoes, but denque fever cases are increasing in some parts of Singapore.

Many species of butterflies have had disappeared as the poisoned environment caused by frequent thermal foggings poison the plants which are food for some butterflies. Poisonous insecticide also kills the caterpillars which could have developed into butterflies.
