Chek Jawa, situated at the eastern tip of Pulau Ubin, is a unique natural environment that is unusually rich in biodiversity. At Chek Jawa, not one, but six different habitats share the area. This stamp issue of four se-tenant stamps captures but a few of the wondrous wildlife of Chek Jawa. They represent the immensely rich biodiversity that we are conserving for our future generations to enjoy.

This stamp issue is sponsored by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited as part of its Care-for-Nature environment conservation and education programme. Launched in 1989, the programme aims to promote greater awareness, appreciation and protection of our natural heritage for the benefit of all.
