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.
Each year, as part of fund-raising efforts, TCS puts up river terrapins for adoption. Each terrapin adoption costs RM30 (or US$10), and you will be furnished with a personalized Certificate of Adoption. You are also encouraged to name your adopted terrapin(s)! All funds raised through the Terrapin Adoption Programme will be used to carry out river terrapin conservation projects in the future. TCS is holding the next Terrapin Release event, where you will have the opportunity to release your adopted terrapin(s) into the river. This event will take place behind Masjid Jambi, Kampung Pasir Gajah, Kemaman, Terengganu at 4:00pm. . For more details visit, http://www.turtleconservationsociety.org.my/.
