Terrapin Conservation Project

Now till March 31 here's a chance to contribute towards saving endangered freshwater turtles. Volunteers are needed to monitor nesting turtles and oversee incubated eggs at the Pasir Kumpal river bank. The public is invited to participate in this five-day volunteer programme. The charge is Rm15 per day and covers meals.

This place is so isolated even there's no handphone signals and need to use satelite phone as they said. Sure interesting if we go n camp beside the turtle nest.

Nah, im in the middle of the semester and i dont think i can squeeze in this program tho im so interested of going. Even they are nesting the Keeled Box Turtle. One of my collection. hehe. I prefer freshwater turtle than seawater turtle coz its not that expensive to join. rm15 per day vs rm300 for 7 days programme. Eventough its a nice one but i dont have that much of money now. I'm just posting this so that other ppl can go if they can.

They do include age as one of the criteria eh ? Well, maybe its not your time this time. Maybe few years later u can join it.

p/s: Anybody know how to get local freshwater turtle ? I got 1 female here and i need a male turtle so that i can start the breeding process.

Im so into the terrapin project but too far lah... Hope someday i can get my butt there..
