6th Apr 2022, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
This year, we managed to collect 668 River terrapin eggs from 3 riverbanks in the Kemaman River.
The first nest was encountered on 25th January, when our Terrapin Guardians went to the riverbank to set up camp. The last nest was recorded on 11th March.
The 2022 river terrapin nesting season lasted for 46 days. It is the longest season we have recorded since we initiated this conservation project in 2021! The second longest season was recorded in 2012, with 39 days.
The eggs are currently bei...

1st Apr 2022, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
That concludes the 2022 river terrapin nesting season 🎉
We've had a pretty eventful season this year. It started a week before Chinese New Year, and was going on smoothly until all the nesting banks were flooded on 1st March.
Our anti-poaching patrolling was interrupted for a week before our Terrapin Guardians were able to clean up the campsite and resume operations.
We'll post an update in a few days, we need some time to ean up the camp beds, stow them away before dive into the data we'v...

Did You Know That Leatherback Turtles Are Migrator..
21st Mar 2022, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Did you know that leatherback turtles are migratory animals?
This means that they move from place to place because food is plentiful at different places at different seasons, and also to find better breeding conditions.
This causes them to be found in many places, especially the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, and their largest remaining nesting sites are located in Trinidad and Tobago, the Northwest Atlantic and the Southeast Atlantic.
When looking for food, leatherba...

The Aftermath Of The Floods. Our Terrapin Guardian..
6th Mar 2022, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
The aftermath of the floods 😭
Our Terrapin Guardians were recently able to return to the nesting bank to assess the damage.
It took them half a day to retrieve all our campbeds and microchips and to clean them off by the river. We are thankful the beds weren't totally damaged or swept away in the flood!
We are also hoping that the nesting season hasn't come to an end yet. We have collected almost 600 eggs so far, and our Terrapin Guardians will continue to maintain a presence on the river ...

The first river terrapin nested on 25th January, and boy, we were excited! 💪🏻
Pics 1 and 2 show an excavator making steps down the cliff so that our Terrapin Guardians are able to safely go down to the river to get across.
Pics 3 and 4 show a set of terrapin tracks on the nesting bank. The sighting of these tracks prompted us set up our campsites on 3 nesting banks along the Kemaman River in anticipation of the nesting season.

28th Feb 2022, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Did you know that a turtle's shell is made up of tough keratin, which is the same protein that makes up our nails?
Hard-shelled turtles, such as the river terrapins, box turtles, and Asian brown tortoises rely on their shells for protection. They are able to retract their head and neck into their shell to avoid being eaten by their predators.
And because they move pretty slowly (at least on land), hard-shelled turtles' diet consists of food that do not require much speech to obtain, such as ri...
