Volunteer sea turtle conservation projects with Help Our Penyu in Terengganu, Malaysia. Saving the sea turtles of Terengganu.

Our aim is:

“to double Terengganu’s sea turtle nesting population by 2060 through EMPOWERING the people of Malaysia”

The sea turtles of Malaysia are becoming extinct species by species.  Malaysia was once famed for its Leatherback Turtles but now the largest sea turtle species are virtually extinct from Malaysian waters, two other species of sea turtle the Olive Ridley and the Hawksbill are in a similar situation. Only the Green turtles have a significant population but have still suffered a significant population decline of 80% between 1950-2009.

YOU can help save the SEA TURTLES of Terengganu by being a turtle volunteer with HOPE in Terengganu. Or if you just want to go on holiday why dont you book your beach holiday travels through us with 5% being donated to sea turtle conservation in Terengganu.

Help Our Penyu, HOPE, is as of 24th of August, 2010 a registered society and non-profit organization in Malaysia (Reg. No. 2103-10-WKL) which through community-based turtle volunteer projects and outreach programs empowers Malaysians to act and save the sea turtles of Terengganu state for future generations.

Turtle conservation via turtle volunteer projects is a favoured way to protect turtles as running hatcheries are labour and fund intensive.  HOPE works in partnership with the Malaysian government providing the much needed manpower and funds to protect these special creatures.
