For most of their lives, cicadas stay hidden underground. Then, for just a brief period, they emerge, sing, mate, and complete their life cycle.

Their appearance may be temporary, but their role in nature is important. Cicadas help support the food web, improve soil health, and remind us of the beauty of seasonal change.

This is a lovely time to pause, listen, and appreciate one of nature’s most remarkable insects.

We also warmly acknowledge the Lee Kong Chian Natural
History Museum/NUS and Nature Kakis for their support in
helping more people discover and appreciate the wonders of nature.

What is UN World Water Day?

World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, is an annual United Nations Observance focusing on the importance of fresh water. WWD celebrates water and inspires action to tackle the global water crisis. The theme for WWD 2026 is Water and Gender.

Where water flows, equality grows

On World Water Day 2026, let’s explore the critical relationship between water, women, and gender equality.

Water services must withstand climate change and meet everyone’s needs. We need a transformative, rights-based approach to solving the water crisis, where women’s voices, leadership and agency are fully recognized.
