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 declines in their population.

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 Bean & Tea Leaf® will contribute 10% to the Save Terry fund. And if you purchase 4 Save Terry Enamel Pins (Terra-pins), priced at RM15 each, you’ll automatically be able to adopt a terrapin!

The Save Terry Campaign will run from 7 August – 30 September 2023. Know anyone who loves Coffee Bean? Share this post with them to spread the word!

Interested in symbolically adopting a terrapin? Each adoption is RM35, and you will receive a certificate of adoption as well as a tax-deductible receipt! Visit our website at https://www.turtleconservationsociety.org.my/terrapin-adoption/ to find out more!
