Two Turtle Discovery Trips had been successfully carried out in the past two weekends, and I am glad to report that the participants had had an enjoyable time here in Cherating/Kemaman.

The discovery of a healthy southern river terrapin population along Sungai Kemaman in Terengganu has ushered in hope for the much threatened species, especially in the state.

The Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia and Shark Savers Malaysia had its first combined event on 18 April at the International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL).

Every year, the International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) raises funds for charity and the Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia was the lucky recipient for this year.

The river terrapins, aged 10-month-old, were hatched at the River Terrapin Conservation Project, a joint-project between Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS), the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) and the Tok Kapor Village Security and Development Committee in Binjai, Kemaman.
