The Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of freshwater turtles and tortoises in Malaysia. Founded in 2011, TCS is involved in a variety of activities aimed at protecting these endangered species, including research, habitat protection, and community outreach. Over the years, TCS has spearheaded several outreach programmes designed to raise awareness and involve the community in conservation activities, and today on the show, we catch up with Dr Chen Pelf Nyok, the co-founder of TCS, for an update on all the good work they've been doing in order to conserve and protect freshwater turtles and tortoises.
