Dr Chua has always been concerned about the constant degradation and devastation of the natural environment in the region. He would like to share his vision of a better tomorrow by highlighting the beauty of the natural heritage. His favourite habitat is the rainforest but recently he has also ventured to the intertidal areas.

 

He had already written 3 books - "Nature in Singapore -Ours To Protect" (which raised $52,000 for the Nature Society to Singapore's (NSS) Building Fund and also raised for $1,500 to Henry Park Primary and $1,500 to Northland Primary School). The book received a National Book Award in 1994. His 2nd book "Pulau Ubin - Ours To Treasure" helped raised $3,200 for the Henry Park Primary School Building fund. Both books were reprinted. His book on the intertidal zone "Chek Jawa- Discovering Singapore's Biodiversity" touched the conscience of many Singaporeans and brought back memories for the many who ralled behind the call to save Chek Jawa. Profits from proceeds of sale of the book ($20,000) were donated to the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University Singapore for continuing research at Chek Jawa. His latest offering on the rainforests "Borneo's Tropical Eden- Sabah" evokes the awe of nature. He hopes to donate the profits to the Orang Utan Sanctuary in Sabah.
