About Event

Students from Peninsula College Shah Alam are generously raising funds and building support for WWF-Malaysia's sea turtle conservation efforts for their community project. Please support them and donate to help save our sea turtles, thank you.

Marine turtle numbers continue to plummet in most parts of the world. Some populations are on the brink of extinction due to the following threats:

- Loss of nesting and feeding habitats.
- Egg-collection for consumption and trade.
- Fishery-related mortality and pollution.

Hawksbill turtles are critically endangered. Green and olive ridley turtles are endangered.

Sea turtles are key to healthy marine ecosystems, which we need for seafood and climate change mitigation, as well as to sustain coastal communities and ecotourism. We need to act now to save our sea turtles.

You have the power to save their lives; make a donation today and help WWF-Malaysia to:

- Monitor and patrol nesting beaches to minimise the poaching of turtle eggs.
- Patrol turtle foraging grounds to prevent poaching.
- Conduct research to understand marine turtle habitats and biology, as well as the effects of climate change, to enhance conservation efforts.
- Continue our efforts in calling for stronger and more holistic laws as well as strengthening ground and transboundary enforcement to protect turtles.

Thank you for your meaningful support.
