Current Conservation Methods

Major Reason for Conservation

Preserve on the basics of beauty, for the enjoyment of future generations.
Governmnets, organisations, buisness, communities and indiviuduals can work together to protect more and restore habitats.

Current Conservation methods

1) Singapore Government agreed to leave Chek Jawa untouched until 2012.The area has been fenced off till to increase of tourists damaging the ecosystem in the area.Conservation efforts were made by the Ministry Of National Developement to preserve that area.


2)Restoring coastal habitats.

In early 2007 Chek Jawa was closed to public after being damaged by heavy rains in December 2006. Freshwater rains upset the wetlands saltwater balance, resulting in widespread death of marine creatures. Tours were stopped to let the wetlands recover.


3)Improving protection management

NParks set up a system to manage large number of visitors and to facilitate guided tours so that the negative impact on the habitats and marine life could be minimised.
