We’re relaunching our Adopt-A-Turtle Campaign! 🐢💚

If you’ve always wanted to do more for the sea turtles, here’s your chance! Adopt any of our 7 popular turtles (or all of them 🤭) for RM50 or RM100, and you’ll be helping us make a difference ✨

4. Today, she was seen swimming and diving to her heart’s content and her wounds looking noticeably better.

All of us here in the Perhentian Islands are rooting for her to pull through and survive her injuries. Sea turtles are an icon of resilience and strength and she proved it

This is the story of a survivor!

1. This adult female green sea turtle was found bleeding from a wound on her face and a small part of her carapace chipped off, believed to be the result of a boatstrike.

3. What we didn’t realise was more efficient than the tracker device was the eyes of the community. The backpack is bright and prominent, prompting boatmen and tourists alike to notify us when they spot her!

How amazing would it be if you came across a curious sperm whale like this one? 😍

Occasionally, we receive reports of stranded sea turtles around the Perhentian Islands. “Stranded” turtles are either injured or dead, found on the beach or floating around in areas that they are not normally found. Last year, we had a total of 13 reports throughout the season

Even though the Perhentian Turtle Project has not yet opened for the season, the team received a report of a distressed sea turtle on the beach. It was not attempting to swim back to the ocean despite the growing crowd at the beach. Read the full story on our website at 8 tonight

We’re up to 31% of our goal, but we’ve got a long way to go still! If you know anyone who may be interested in adopting a turtle, do spread this post around 🫶🏻

P/s: Koningin went from 0 to 9 adopters real quick 📈😅.

It’s nesting season, which means we have hatchlings! After 40 days of incubation, we were so excited to see them hatch from their shells 🥹

Update!
Ever since Sea Turtle Day, we’ve gotten 21 new adopters! We’d like to extend our gratitude to our total of 36 special adopters and not to forget those who have liked, shared, and commented on our posts. Your support means the world to us and our turtle friends ✨🐢
