The Southern River Terrapins Batagur Affinis Are C..

The Southern River Terrapins (Batagur affinis) are critically endangered due to the chronic consumption of their eggs, mortality from fishing gear and habitat destruction.

Together with the local communities, we established a few anti-poaching teams to protect the female terrapins and the eggs that they produce during the nesting season.

To date, we have protected more than 8,000 eggs from being eaten, and released more than 4,000 terrapins into the Kemaman River. Without our conservation project, none of this would have happen.

Support our conservation efforts by symbolically adopting a river terrapin! Your contribution is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
