Our first clutch of painted terrapin eggs has hatched!
Sometime in the middle of June, Malek Yunus helped us purchase 15 painted terrapin eggs for incubation. Now, two-and-a-half months later, the hatchlings have emerged. All 15 of them! :D
Our river surveys in full swing
We have started on this ambitous project of surveying eight rivers in Terengganu for the presence of river terrapins, access their major threats and look into the possibility of initiating egg protection programs in the rivers.
Busy Friday in Mangkok
23rd July in TCC@Mangkok had been pre-arranged with River Foo of WWF. He had some high-ranking officials from the Government of Pakistan and WWF-Pakistan and would like to have them visit TCC as well.
Our Soft Launch A Success
Finally… Our Mini Turtle Museum has been launched, as well as the Bahasa Malaysia version of our book “Little Turtle Messenger.”
Our banner is up and “Little Turtle Messenger” has just arrived!!
As I took the 50 km drive from Mangkok back to KT early this morning to take delivery of the books, I felt like I was dreaming. The book has been incubating in my mind for more than 10 years before I finally found an artist to do the artwork.
Pre-Publication Book Offer
We are pleased to announce that “Little Turtle Messenger,” a kiddies’ book written by Chan Eng Heng and illustrated by Tan Yi Sin is now in press and expected to be released by the end of June 2010.
