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.
