3rd Feb 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
This morning, we responded to an urgent call about an injured softshell turtle. Upon inspection, we found a deeply embedded fishing hook in its right foreleg, deep cuts on its carapace, and heartbreakingly, a missing left foreleg 💔
The softshell turtle was clearly in pain, fidgeting as we carefully worked to remove the hook. After some struggle, we succeeded, and all its wounds were cleansed and treated. This brave survivor weighs 12kg and will undergo a few more hours of rehabilitation befo...

3rd Feb 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Pagi tadi, kami menerima panggilan kecemasan tentang seekor labi-labi yang cedera. Setelah diperiksa, hati kami luluh melihat keadaannya – mata kail tertusuk di kaki depan kanan, luka yang sangat dalam pada karapasnya, dan lebih menyedihkan, satu kakinya sudah tiada 💔
Labi-labi ini jelas dalam kesakitan, ia meronta setiap kali kami cuba mengeluarkan mata kail tersebut. Namun, dengan penuh ketelitian, kami akhirnya berjaya mengeluarkannya dan membersihkan semua lukanya. Beratnya 12kg, dan k...

27th Jan 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
🗣️ It is that time of the year again!
Now is the nesting season of river terrapins, and we are all hands on deck here at Kg. Pasir Gajah. Our Terrapin Guardians have been busy setting up two campsites—one at Pasir Pok Yok and another at Pasir Pok Leh. (Watch the video below to see the campsites👇🏻)
From clearing the area to pitching the tents, every step has been carefully planned to create a safe and comfortable space for our team to patrol the nesting banks and secure the terrapi...

21st Jan 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Last Friday, our dedicated TCS team, along with Prof. Maketab, the Terrapin Guardians (Wan Mokhtar, Nasir, Hasbullah) and Jabatan PERHILITAN Semenanjung Malaysia, braved the weather for a river survey at Sungai Kuantan. Although we could not set up traps to find river terrapin (thanks to the relentless rain!), we made the most of the day.
We explored potential nesting banks to look for tracks of terrapins, and even came across two active sandmining sites near the sandbanks. Uncontrolled sandmin...

Its Happening Again. Kes Tuba Sungai Seperti Ini B..
12th Jan 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
It’s happening again 😭
Kes tuba sungai seperti ini berlaku setiap tahun. Setiap tahun jugalah pihak kami menggesa Jabatan Perikanan untuk mengambil tindakan, tetapi kami dimaklumkan bahawa kes sebegini susah untuk diambil tindakan, kerana pihak penguatkuasa tidak mempunyai bukti yang kukuh.
Are there any toxicology experts reading this? Can we do something about this?

7th Jan 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Team TCS went on a river patrol today and guess what we found? 🫢
We sighted not one, but two river terrapins surfacing for air! 🐢 River terrapins in Terengganu typically begin nesting in mid-January and the nesting duration lasts approximately 2.5 to 3 months.
During the nesting season, our Terrapins Guardians will work from dusk to dawn to collect the eggs and incubate them in a hatchery.
We’ll go back to the river tomorrow with our drone, and hopefully get better photos and videos...

The Terrapin Nesting Season Is Coming. Yesterday, ..
23rd Dec 2024, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Nesting Season is Coming!
Yesterday, during our river patrol, we discovered a river terrapin track on one of the nesting banks! The track appeared to make a sharp U-turn, possibly because the female was searching for a suitable spot for her nest. The nesting season is approaching quickly, and we are excited for it! 🐢
The fourth pic shows river otter tracks, which we initially mistook for a terrapin's from afar 🦦. After taking a closer look from the boat, we confirmed it was a false alarm...

16th Dec 2024, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
This morning, the rain held off just long enough for us to head out on a river patrol with the Terrapin Guardians. Our mission? To spot some breeding terrapins near the nesting banks 🌿🐢
Remember last week when those banks were completely submerged? The good news is, they were visible today! 🙌 Still, the current was pretty strong, making our work a bit more challenging.
Swipe to pic 5 — we found some fishing gear that had been washed up by the recent floods, still caught in the trees...

15th Dec 2024, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Fresh sand, fresh start! 💪🏻
We changed the sand in our terrapin hatchery today ahead of the terrapin nesting season that is expected to begin mid-January. This is essential for providing a clean environment for the incubation of terrapin eggs🐢🌱
Clean sand also reduces the risk of harmful mould/fungi and bacteria growth that can compromise the health of the eggs and developing embryos.

3rd Dec 2024, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
This monsoon season reminded us of the impact of our community empowerment programme 🌧️
Three years ago, Kg. Pasir Gajah was badly hit by the floods. One of the victims was Noratiqah bt. Azemi (fondly known as Eyka). Eyka was living in a lower-lying area of the village with her family. Due to the location of their house, their family was always the first to be evacuated during a flood 😭
The first photo shows Eyka's house at the height of the monsoon back in 2021. We initiated a fundr...
