Kami berjaya menyelamatkan seekor tuntung sungai daripada lemas! 🙌🏻

Its The Painted Terrapin Nesting Season. Weve Incu..
29th Jun 2024, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
It’s the painted terrapin nesting season! 🐢
We’ve incubated close to 30 painted terrapin eggs in the past two days. And while we were already in the river, we removed a huge discarded fishing net too!
Discarded fishing gear endanger river and painted terrapins and other wildlife, hence it’s important to remove them before terrapins get caught and drown in them 😕

12th Jun 2024, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Saving the environment, “one pot at a time.”
Some time in February, five students from Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT) held a recycling event to encourage tree planting.
In the programme, the students helped to process plastic bottles into little pots to hold succulents, which were given to visitors who donated any sum of money or 3 plastic bottles.
In the 2-day event, they raised more than RM3,600 which they very generously donated to TCS! 🐢

11th Jun 2024, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
This black boy owns the sweetest smile which can melt anyone's heart🥹.
This freshwater turtle is called Black Marsh Turtle or more known as the Smiling Terrapin due to its jaw line that is curved upwards.
This turtle can be found in marshes, swamps and ponds. Broad head and strong jaws gives this terrapin a strength to crunch mollusc and carrion bones which makes it a carnivorous species.
The juvenile has white spots on its head which remains in an adult female and fades in males.

We’re hosting Dr. Daniel Gaillard and his students from the Dalton State College, Georgia, USA for a week.
As soon as they arrived, we put them to work! We excavated some nests, recovered some terrapin hatchlings and we also weighed and measured them.
Then we set up 2 traps in the village, hoping to catch some turtles. Can’t wait to see what’s caught tomorrow!
