Adopt A Terrapin
Price range: RM50.00 through RM150.00
When you adopt a terrapin, you’re directly contributing to its care before their release into the wild. Every adoption comes with a personalised digital Certificate of Adoption and an official tax-deductible receipt for your records.
You’ll also have the joy of naming your adopted terrapin—a small but meaningful way to connect with the species you’re helping to protect.
There are 3 adoptions tiers:
- Terrapin adoption only
- Terrapin adoption + Turbo plush toy
- Terrapin adoption + a bag of pellets for the terrapins
Please fill up the Terrapin Adoption form (click to open this link in a new tab) for us to prepare your receipt and/or Certificate of Adoption.
All funds raised through the Terrapin Adoption Programme go toward ongoing and future conservation projects, including habitat protection, head-starting, and community outreach.
Your adoption helps ensure that Malaysia’s river terrapins have a fighting chance. Thank you for being part of their journey.
Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) carries out two river terrapin conservation projects in the Setiu and Kemaman Rivers, Terengganu. Through these projects and with the collaboration with the local communities, a maximum number of river terrapin eggs are secured for incubation. Upon emergence, some river terrapin hatchlings are released immediately while the remaining hatchlings are raised for approximately six to ten months before they are also released into the respective rivers.
Our “Terrapin Adoption Programme” is a symbolic gesture in an effort to raise funds for turtle conservation in Malaysia. Adopters do NOT get to bring home a terrapin. And at the end of the day, ALL terrapins will be released into the river, regardless of whether they get “adopted.” :)
