Head-starting work on river terrapins bears fruit
As part of our Setiu River Terrapin Recovery Project, head-started river terrapins that have been equipped with microchips for individual identification are released into the Setiu River at one to three years of age. In order to monitor their progress in the river, the terrapins have to be recaptured, weighed and measured for increments in body weight and carapace (shell) length at regular intervals of time.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
We would like to wish all our Muslim sponsors/donors, supporters, readers, visitors and friends Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! Maaf Zahir Batin. Semoga anda semua dimurahkan rezeki.

Our TCC logo is unveiled!
After several weeks of discussion and amendments between myself, our artist Yisin and Pelf, we have finally decided on the logo for our Turtle Conservation Centre.
Electronic or physical copy?
Sponsors now have an option to either receive the Certificate of Adoption in the form of an electronic version or a physical copy. We are offering this option because the certificate may be damaged in transit, though every care will be taken to ensure that you receive your certificate in good order.
TCC’s bank account details
A huge milestone was achieved yesterday when we finally opened a bank account for TCC. The details of the bank account can be found in the Support Us page, together with information on how you can adopt a terrapin.
