i had just been to chek jawa during the holidays with my groupmates and finally.
information i found off the internet courtesy of wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chek_Jawa
Tanjong Chek Jawa (or Tanjung Chek Jawa or simply Chek Jawa; Chinese: 仄爪哇) is a cape and the name of its 100-hectare wetlands located on the south-eastern tip of Pulau Ubin, an island off the north-eastern coast of the main island of Singapore. Chek Jawa is among the last few places left with a natural rocky shore.
The wetlands are unique as several ecosystems can be observed in one area — sandy beach, rocky beach, seagrass lagoon, coral rubble, mangroves and coastal forest.[1]
In December 2001, the government decided to call off reclamation plans of the Chek Jawa area after a biodiversity survey conducted by conservationist volunteers. State use of the land will be deferred for the next 10 years. However, Chek Jawa may still be re-used by the government in and after 2012.Sadly it will only be 2 years more to enjoy this magnificent nature reserve we have left in singapore.
Reflection on my visit there:
well i loved the greenery and animals i have seen. i really have not seen something like this since i went to a nature reserve in africa when i was 10.My favourite scene was when a hawk was hunting and a falcon was trying to rip it out of the sky with its menacing claws. i did not like the part when the blood splattered when the falcon lacerated the hawk's wing which was not a pretty sight but overall it was exhilarating experience i really enjoyed.
