Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) carries out a River and Painted Terrapin Conservation Project in Kemaman, Terengganu. Terrapin eggs are secured for incubation, and raised for 4-5 months before being released into the river. Each terrapin adoption will be furnished with an official tax-deductible receipt and a personalised digital Certificate of Adoption. You may also name your adopted terrapin(s)! All funds raised through the Terrapin Adoption Programme will be used to carry out river terrapin conservation projects in the future.
TCS’ “Terrapin Adoption Programme” is a symbolic gesture in an effort to raise funds for turtle conservation in Malaysia. Adopters do NOT get to bring home a terrapin. And at the end of the day, ALL terrapins will be released into the river, regardless of whether they get “adopted.”
The first 25 adopters also get an adorable Turbo the Turtle plushie!
