The future of turtles is in danger — and working tirelessly to protect freshwater tutles is Dr. Chen Pelf Nyok (@drpelf81). Dr. Chen co-founded the Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (@tcsmalaysia), dedicated to bringing about the recovery of depleted wildlife populations of freshwater turtles in Malaysia.⠀

To date, they have saved over 4,500 terrapin eggs from human consumption, with more than 3,000 head-started terrapins released back into the river. They have also reached out to more than 10,000 students through their Turtle Camps and school talks.⠀

In 2018, Dr. Chen was awarded the “Commonwealth Point of Light” by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her outstanding contributions in the field of freshwater turtle conservation in Malaysia.⠀
