TSA in Terengganu to support freshwater turtle conservation

We hosted the visit of three TSA officials — Rick Hudson, Bill Zeigler and Lonnie McCaskill — during their 4-day visit to Kuala Terengganu from 3-6 September 2009 to draw up plans to support river terrapin conservation and to develop the Turtle Conservation Centre (TCC) in Penarik, Setiu.

Wanted: “Parents” for 99 river terrapins

The Turtle Conservation Centre (TCC) is offering three-year-old terrapins raised in captivity for adoption as part of its inaugural “Terrapin Independence Day” celebration on Sept 9.

Looking at potential sites

Three officers from the Turtle Survival Aliance (TSA) will be arriving in Kuala Terengganu in a while, and we will be looking at some potential sites to build the TCC facilities in Penarik this evening.
