TCC @ Mangkok
We are pleased to announce that we have acquired a small wooden building in Kampung Mangkuk, Setiu to use as our base near the river terrapin nesting site in the Setiu River.
Turtles in trouble
For turtle conservationist Dr Chan Eng Heng, the Integrated Shrimp Aquaculture Park (i-SHARP) is bad news for the survival of two critically endangered terrapins.
The terrapins have been released
We decided to release all the river and painted terrapins that we have been taking care of in the terrapin hatchery on campus. It was a very difficult decision to make because our initial intention was to raise the terrapins up to 3 years old before release, but we figured it was the best we could do for the terrapins, given the circumstances.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones, from the turtle-hugging TCC staff! As we step into the New Year with new aspirations and new goals, we strive to make this an exceptionally-amazing year for the turtles, and we hope that you will be with us throughout the journey :)
