Turtle Conservation
On 25th July 2010, the Lions Club of Indera Mahkota and the Lions Club of Kuantan City jointly adopted 30 baby turtles at the Turtle Sanctuary in Cherating Pahang. The cost of adopting these baby turtles is RM600.00 which is used by the caretakers to purchase food pellets to supplement the diet of the babies. The idea and hope is that after a period of approximately 5 months on a balanced and nutritious diet, these baby turtles would be stronger and larger and better able to survive the perils of the sea.
On 18th December 2010, these wards of the Lions Club of Indera Mahkota and the Lions Club of Kuantan City were ready to be released into the sea. At approximately 5.00 pm, members from both Clubs together with their families and also members of the Leo Club of Kuantan City gathered on the beach at the Turtle Sanctuary in Cherating to witness the journey of the baby turtles to the sea. The Project lasted 3 hours during which time the baby turtles gradually crawled towards the South China Sea and disappeared into the waters.

Adopt a Turtle
Turtles have been coming to the shores of the East Coast of West Malaysia for years to lay their eggs. There was a time when many of these eggs never had the opportunity to hatch as poachers would dig them up for turtle eggs were a delicacy.
At the Turtle Sanctuary in Cherating, Pahang, Tuan Haji Abdul Karim, the caretaker, has dedicated himself to the task of saving these turtle eggs. Once the turtle eggs are laid and the mother turtle has left the nesting site, Tuan Haji Abdul Karim’s team will dig up the eggs and bury them again in a fenced up hatchery to protect the eggs and the hatchlings which are too fragile to survive the perils of the sea. The hatchlings will live at the Sanctuary for at least 5 months until they are larger and stronger. This effort is in the hope that the hatchlings will have a better chance of survival.
