Activists team up to combat online sale of turtle eggs

KUALA TERENGGANU (Bernama): The rising trend of turtle eggs being sold online since May last year has prompted a group of activists to form a surveillance team known as Turtle Watch Malaysia.

Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Oceanography and Environment Institute Research Laboratory head Dr Mohd Uzair Rusli, who is one of the activists, said the setting up of the team had given concerned members of the public an avenue via social media to provide information on such activities.
