The whole central portion of Singapore island is covered in forest. It may be small, but it's very green.

And as a percentage of an already-tiny country, it's very sizable.

Yemen might not have a lot of trees, but they've got some of the most wonderful ones - the Dragon Blood Trees on the island of Socotra. Impossible to travel there now due to the war in Yemen, but I'd love to see them one day.

Actually Socotra is doing just fine under UAE humanitarian intervention/occupation, though I imagine the connecting flights might be a sticking point.

Yep, fortunately the war hasn't reached Socotra, but getting there is the problem. Last time I checked anyway it was simply impossible to book a ticket.

Currently it's possible to visit Socotra, last trip report was on an Emirates flight from Abu Dhabi, official humanitarian flight so you won't see it as you can't book it online.

Mandai Gardens; Kian Teck San; Kranji Marshes; Bukit Timah Nature Reserve; the entire area between the Central, Seletar and MacRitchie Reservoirs; Simpang Marshes; Pulau Ubin; Pulau Tekong; the list goes on and on and on.

If you look at it on a satellite map, you'll notice that well over 1/4 the country is protected and/or otherwise forested.

Yeah, its absence from the list surprised me too.

I looked at a satellite image and I'm seeing a bit of green along the west coast. It's not a lot by area (and I think calling it "forest" might be generous) but when the country is so small to begin with, it doesn't take much to push the percentage up enough to drop it off the list.

I suspect it's a "near miss" kind of deal.

Basically, because this list is done by percentage, it pretty naturally excludes any of the really tiny countries.

Why are people so surprised about Singapore?? Its humid af, and its practilly at the equator. Every cm not occupied by the city will be forests.

"every cm not occupied by city" I think is the key... there aren't many cms like that in Singapore.

Actually, there is plenty. There is a massive Nature reserve smack bang in the middle of the island and the entire northwestern part is pretty green too.

I get where the missconception is comming from, with it being a city state with one of the largeat population densities in the world. But we live in an era when we can correct these missconceptions with one look at a satelite image or a single google search. But also, we live in an era when people are too lazy to do even that.

Kal, you know way better than that. Spend a few seconds to look at it on satellite view. A huge percentage of the country is protected and/or otherwise forested, with a ban on development.

This explains why my son's lemonade stand outperformed my leaf blower business in Doha. That does it. I'm moving the family and the business to Oman. (I hope they like lemonade in Muscat)
