Together we run to save river terrapins. Join Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia to raise awareness and increase the survival rate of the river terrapins

About The Event

The river terrapins are listed as one of the top 25 most critically endangered freshwater turtles and tortoises in the world (Read More). They can only be found in Peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand and Cambodia. The river terrapin population is facing threats from eggs consumption, fishing gears and habitat destruction.

To date, it is estimated that only approximately 200 wild river terrapins are left in the Kemaman River. The Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) initiated a community-based river terrapin conservation project in 2011 and is dedicated to bringing about the recovery of wild river terrapin populations.

Let’s do our part to help save the river terrapins! If you think that your actions won’t make a difference, think again because it will!
