TCS RIVER TERRAPIN CONSERVATION CENTRE

The TCS River Terrapin Conservation Centre was established in 2017, in Kg. Pasir Gajah, Kemaman. It is located right next to the Pasir Gajah Community Hall (Dewan Orang Ramai). The centre consists of a Turtle Gallery, a hatchery and a head-starting pond.

The Turtle Gallery used to be a store room, but in January 2017, the then Head of the Village offered us the store room, which we promptly converted into a gallery. It houses numerous turtle info plates, shells and bones of turtles, and preserved specimens in jars. The hatchery is where we incubate river terrapin eggs secured through our conservation project, and the head-starting pond is where we raise all the hatchlings before they are released.
