Among The Dangers Faced By Painted Terrapins Is Sa..

Among the dangers faced by painted terrapins is sand mining, in which sand is harvested from riverbanks for the construction of new roads and buildings. These sandbanks serve as the nesting site for not only painted terrapins, but river terrapins as well. As a result, these species are left without a place to lay their eggs during nesting season when the sandbanks are destroyed by sand mining.

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!
