Consistently high visitorship to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (BTNR) is more than the capacity it allows. This proved to disrupt the wildlife and erode pathways at BTNR. Hence, our project aims to reduce visitorship among all demographics. However, it might be difficult to implement our project. Using data from research papers and visit history from NParks, we adjusted the visitor quota depending on the time and the day. Analysing our survey results, 54% of those surveyed were open to the idea of a quota on visitors. Our results offer a viable option for the consideration the management of BTNR.
