Guest: Dr Chen Pelf Nyok, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS)
The Annual Terrapin Release, a significant and joyous event for Malaysia's terrapin conservation efforts, is happening soon. Organised and spearheaded by the Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia, the event is held annually on the first Saturday of October, and is the climax of the Kemaman River Terrapin Conservation Project, a community-based project that has saved more than 9700 terrapin eggs from human consumption, and released more than 5000 head-started terrapins into the Kemaman River. Dr Chen Pelf Nyok, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia, joins us to share more about the significance of releasing these critically endangered species back into the wild, the challenges terrapins face, and how TCS is working to protect their fragile ecosystems.
