I documented a durian forager's early morning expedition into Singapore's nature reserves — where the pursuit of wild, fallen fruit exists in a legal grey area, and a quiet community of pickers navigate both the jungle and the law. We joined 55-year-old durian forager 'Uncle Tony' on a pre-dawn trek through Thomson Nature Park, where he's been quietly collecting wild fallen durians since 2006. The story explores Singapore's underground culture of forest durian picking, the community of locals and migrant workers who take part, and the ongoing debate over whether harvesting naturally fallen fruit should remain a crime.
