I personally requested from my supervisor that I wanted to extend my internship for two weeks at the island and it was the best decision of my life. It has always been a dream of mine staying on an island, having a camping life with the most basic stuff, and I achieved it with the opportunity given by LTTW.
I thought it would be difficult as it was in the middle of a pandemic and we were short-staffed but it turned out to be super fun and I learnt a lot of things. The camp managers were super friendly and guided me throughout my internship there. The best things I accomplished was learning how to swim in the sea, cliff jumping and discovering amazing sea creatures.
Two weeks was honestly a short period of time for me but I used my time wisely to enjoy every minute of me being there. Filled my daytime with activities such as snorkelling and hiking, patrolling by night-time. There were a lot of wonderful things there but words could not describe how happy I was. I wish I could experience this again and work with LTTW in the future.
Exciting news ahead! We are thrilled to announce that Lang Tengah Turtle Watch is migrating to Persatuan Pemuliharaan dan Kajian Marin Malaysia (Marine Conservation and Research Organisation Malaysia), also known as PULIHARA.
At PULIHARA, we are committed to continue with the conservation efforts that were previously carried out under LTTW with the same dedication, commitment and focus.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we are working tirelessly to ensure a smooth migration process.
