We spent an afternoon with Tan Sri Dr. Salleh Mohd Nor, Turtle Conservation Centre’s co-founder in Penarik on the 11th of September 2009. Tan Sri was shown the site the Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) team had helped us select for the TCC during their visit a week earlier.
We have just created a Turtle Conservation Centre Group at Facebook. It is an open group and anyone can join as well as invite others to join. See you there!
You can now subscribe to the TCC website via email. Upon confirmation of your subscription, you will receive an email each time we publish a blog post or news article.
