Adopt a Sea Turtle Nest

Threats to turtles go beyond just the consumption of eggs; they also involve accidental bycatch in fishing gear, boat strikes, habitat destruction, natural predation, and many more. Our conservation efforts are instrumental in bolstering the numbers of endangered green sea turtles and critically endangered painted terrapins in Terengganu. Thus ensuring that a maximum number of hatchlings safely make their way to the sea.

With the promulgation of the Turtle Enactment 1951 (Amendment 2021) which came into effect on 1 June 2022, the sale of turtle eggs is now prohibited. Although licences are still being granted to egg collectors, it is a condition of the licence that the eggs must be incubated by the Department of Fisheries or NGOs such as PULIHARA. In any event, looking forward to 2024, our aim is to surpass our previous achievements by continuing to protect as many nests as possible. However, to accomplish this objective and sustain our growth, we require assistance.

By adopting a nest, you are supporting our diverse groundwork efforts to aid all turtle species throughout various stages of their lives. Afterwards you will receive regular updates on the progress of your nest, including information on when we anticipate hatchlings will emerge and embark on their journey into the ocean.
