From a group to a fan page
We have recently started a new TCC Fan Page because we would like to reach out to a wider audience in a more effective way, and we realized that a fan page would be a better “tool” than a group. We will be posting more updates of our activities and events on the TCC Fan [...]
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 :)
Helping to save Aceh’s terrapins
Malaysia is helping Indonesia to preserve a tiny population of painted terrapins in Aceh. About three painted terrapins were spotted along Sungai Kuruk Tiga, a man-made river in Aceh Tamiang, a few months ago.
Adopt and release your terrapin
We are providing some updates about the Adopt-A-Terrapin Campaign that was launched almost 2 months ago, in conjunction with the Turtle Conservation Centre’s inaugural Terrapin Independence Day.
