“I love turtles! They are my favourite animals and I want to help them. This year I would like to donate money to look after the turtles instead of having a birthday present please.”

A little from the Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia:

Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) was founded out of necessity in 2011 because co-founders Drs. Chan Eng Heng and Chen Pelf Nyok realised that there wasnt an organisation or agency in charge of the tortoises and freshwater turtles in the country, despite being home to 18 native species.

TCS is the first non-governmental and non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of freshwater turtles in Malaysia. The aim of the Society is to bring about the recovery of depleted wild populations of turtles, with particular reference to freshwater turtles, in Malaysia through partnerships with like-minded organisations, individuals and local communities as well as through its own programmes.
