When was the last time you went to the mall? We m When was the last time you went to the mall? We miss these public awareness campaigns, because they're mostly held in malls, we get to meet and talk to people from all walks of life, we get to sneak into the nearest Mr. DIY and of course, makannnnn! So many different options to choose from! Do you generally visit such booths/ bazaars at the mall? Or Do you avoid them?
We missed hosting events with little kids! 😭 B We missed hosting events with little kids! 😭 B.C. (Before COVID-19) we used to organise and host various activities for children. We've hosted Turtle Camps for rural school students. During our annual terrapin releases, we've had face/hand painting, sand art, jigsaw puzzles, guess the number of marbles in a container, colouring contest, etc. While our conservation centre will remain closed until next year (due, in part, to the impending monsoon), we're still hosting activities for children, albeit virtual ones. If you'd like to participate in any of our virtual activities, please stay tuned to our social media sites. We heard there will be a turtle paper mache colouring/doodling contest coming up 🤫 Till then, stay safe! 🐢
Ouchhhh! 😭 River terrapins are threatened by t Ouchhhh! 😭 River terrapins are threatened by the use of fishing gear in the river. Fishing nets deployed across the river restrict the movements of the terrapins in the river. Terrapins are accidentally caught in large hooks suspended in the water. These baited hooks (known as "taut" in Malay) are meant to catch fish, but sometimes terrapins fall prey to them too. Swipe to see what other wildlife got caught! Unfortunately, the use of such gear isn't prohibited, hence it is not illegal for local villagers to use such a practice to catch fish. The challenge is to find a middle ground where local folks could continue their fishing practices, but at the same to prevent the accidental by catch of other wildlife. #criticallyendangered #riverterrapin #totallyprotected #turtlesofmalaysia #turtleconservation
It's Fri-yay! And it's our weekend! Now that our It's Fri-yay! And it's our weekend! Now that our borders are open, where are you headed to this weekend? Remember to adhere to SOPs! Our River Terrapin Conservation Centre in Kemaman remains closed to visitors for the rest of the year. The monsoon is expected to arrive end of October (earlier than in previous years), hence to avoid the unpredictable weather and visits/trips being cancelled, we've decided to continue with our virtual tours for now. Our next (and final) public tour of the year is happening on Sunday, 25th Oct at 3:00 pm. Don't miss it! Sign up link in our profile. #virtualtour #virtualtour360 #virtualtourist #TCS10thAnniversary
Hello world! These are river terrapin hatchlings. Hello world! These are river terrapin hatchlings. Upon emergence, we raise them in a headstarting pond until they're bigger, before we reintroduce them into the wild. We're looking forward to hosting a terrapin release event sometime in March next year, hopefully the COVID-19 situation then is more manageable 🤞🏻 Meanwhile, if you want to see these hatchlings in the pond, and also see some other turtles, sign up for our next turtle virtual tour, happening on Sunday, 24th Oct, at 3:00 pm. Link to sign up is in our profile! #throwback #turtlesofmalaysia #turtleconservation #turtlesofinstagram #riverterrapin
