On 13 October 2021, as part of a corporate rebranding, Wildlife Reserves Singapore was renamed to Mandai Wildlife Group.[4] In addition, River Safari is renamed River Wonders, while Jurong Bird Park is renamed Bird Paradise, and Wild Life Park will be named Rainforest Wild to spark a sense of wonder amongst guests.[5]

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

In response to the Singapore government's call on 3 April 2020 to create a circuit breaker to help slow the spread of infection in Singapore,[6] WRS announced on its Facebook page that it would close Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari, River Safari and Singapore Zoo from 7 April.[7]
