We Check Our Terrapin Nests Every Month During The..
19th May 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
We check our terrapin nests every month during the incubation period.
In the first two months, we look for any signs of fungal infection or ant infestation. Catching these early helps protect the eggs. We remove any eggs that are affected by fungi or attacked by ants.
In the final month of incubation, as we perform the nest checks, we also loosen the sand in the nest. This makes it easier for the hatchlings to reach the surface when they’re ready to emerge.
We’re approaching the end of t...

En Versi Bm Di Bawah. How Many Eggs Does A Turtle ..
25th Apr 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
EN | Versi BM di bawah 👇🏻
“How many eggs does a turtle lay?”
“Can we touch the hatchlings?”
“Woahh, is this real?” 😮
These were some of questions we got from the curious students at SJK(C) Kong Min!
We came with turtle and terrapin stories, real specimens, and of course our smiles — and we walked away with something even better: the joy of seeing the ‘little turtle heroes’.
From the Turtle Talk, to our hands-on specimen table, and even we brought the little merchan...

What A Heartwarming Evening We Had Hosting A Lovel..
1st Apr 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
What a heartwarming evening we had hosting a lovely family from Kuantan! 🌟
After a fun and informative sharing session, the children had the chance to meet and learn about the different species of turtles in our care 🐢
The joy on their faces as they gently interacted with the terrapins was priceless, and the younger one was so attached to the terrapins that she didn't want to let go, even after they'd released them into the river! 💕
If you’d love to create similar special moments...

New discovery! ✨
A new population of the Southern river terrapin (Batagur affinis) was recently discovered in the Kuantan River, in Pahang!
It was previously only documented in Kedah, Perak and Terengganu.
With this discovery, Malaysia plays an even more important role in the conservation of this critically endangered species 💪🏻

18th Mar 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
On March 18, we celebrate Global Recycling Day, a movement dedicated to raising awareness about recycling and its impact on protecting our planet.
When we first started TCS, some of you may remember that our very first turtle-batik product was a straw pouch to carry a stainless steel straw and a straw brush. That was our first experience with merchandising, and we aimed to encourage people to move away from single-use plastic straws and embrace reusable ones. We still sell our “Minum Set” t...

The Terrapin Nesting Season Is Very Short Compared..
14th Mar 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
The terrapin nesting season is very short compared to the sea turtle nesting season.
It lasts for about 50-60 days, during which the team works hard to secure as many eggs as possible for incubation.
This includes working from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. Sometimes in the rain. Occasionally bitten by sandflies. Not having a camp bed to sleep in. Patrolling the sand bank in the dark. Deterring poachers.
Every egg is carefully handled from the nesting bank to the hatchery, where they will remain inc...

13th Mar 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
Last September, 34 students and teachers from the Interact Club of Kuen Cheng High School volunteered at our Turtle Centre. They rolled up their sleeves, cleaned our terrapin pond, pulled weeds, and even symbolically adopted 23 nests and 35 terrapins to support our conservation efforts 🐢💚
Fast forward to 6 months later, we're thrilled to announce that their hard work and dedication have earned them a well-deserved spot as one of the runners-up in the Interact Awards Photo Category 2024! ...

Batagur Baska Vs. Batagur Affinis Can You Tell The..
24th Feb 2025, by Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia
🐢 Batagur baska vs. Batagur affinis – Can you tell them apart? 🤔
Our terrapin nesting season has just started, so we’re taking this opportunity to highlight the two species that were—up to recently—thought to be conspecific, i.e. the Northern and the Southern River Terrapins.
Unfortunately, these river terrapins are facing serious man-made threats, such as poaching and habitat loss. That is why we are actively working to protect the Southern River Terrapin (Batagur affinis) pop...
