Fears over turtle haven being left high and dry

Several environmental groups are unhappy with the purported poor management at the Teluk Ketapang Turtle Conservation Centre on Pulau Pangkor, in Perak.

The centre was initially set up on the beach by environmental activist Rasli Ibrahim, but in 2021 its management was taken over by the Perak Fisheries Department.

Rasli says there is rubbish everywhere and there have been incidents of turtle egg theft.
