Last Saturday, we co-hosted Ocean Network Express (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. for their one-day Turtle Discovery Trip ðŸ¢

Did You Know That Painted Terrapins Help To Keep R..
21st Aug 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Did you know that painted terrapins help to keep rivers clean? They do so by scavenging on carcasses in the rivers, preventing the spread of bacteria by reducing the amount of food available to them. This can help prevent disease in both animals as well as humans in the local environment!
As the population of painted terrapins is dwindling, it is essential that we protect them. Together with @coffeebeanmy, we are holding the Save Terry Campaign to help achieve this goal. For every purchase of T...

18th Aug 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Are you familiar with the painted terrapin? With the scientific name of Batagur borneoensis, the word “painted†in its common name comes from the colourful appearance of males during nesting season, which is used to attract mates. As residents of rivers in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, their diet consists of mangrove apples as well as mollusks. They nest on both the sandbanks of rivers and sea beaches. Unfortunately, they are currently classified as critically endangered, due to decline...

14th Aug 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Painted terrapins are an important part of the river ecosystem, as they help to disperse seeds from the fruits that they eat. This helps to spread out new saplings along the river, reducing competition for resources with their parent and sibling plants. 🌱
As the population of painted terrapins is dwindling, it is essential that we protect them. Together with @coffeebeanmy, we are holding the Save Terry Campaign to help achieve this goal. For every purchase of Terry merchandise, The Coffee Be...

9th Jul 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
We are shocked and saddened by the water surge tragedy that took the lives of 10 family members in Air Putih last week.
Following a torrential rain on Saturday, our Terrapin Guardians went to the river to check out our boat that was tethered to the riverbank the night before.
They then received news about the tragedy, but at that time, nobody knew how many victims there were. They immediately went on a search and rescue operation with the authorities, and unfortunately found the first of many...

4th Jul 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Did you know that each Malaysian generates about 1.17 kg of waste daily?
Approximately 90% of the waste goes to landfills, while only 10% is recycled! Because of this plastic pollution crisis, Melvita recently launched some new products made with recycled plastic, which are also recyclable. This initiative aims to reduce plastic wastes by using cleaner production and promote recycling â™».
Yesterday, Melvita and TCS co-hosted a one-day CSR programme in Kemaman and Chendor. We learned about t...

We are hosting a first Turtle & Fireflies Discovery Trip post-pandemic on Saturday, 8th July 2023 🎉
Many people have not seen turtles, hence they do not know much about them. They only knew about sea turtles (but there are so many other non-sea turtles!). They believed that turtles could come out of their shells, like how it is depicted in cartoons.
They didn't know how global warming affects our turtles, and they certainly do not know how they can play a part to help save our turtles.

22nd Jun 2023, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
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 proj...
