Tengah Island Conservation (TIC) is a science-based, community-driven conservation initiative based in Mersing, Johor. TIC is dedicated to preserving and restoring the environment and the island’s rich biodiversity through a holistic approach that integrates environmental protection, sustainable practices, and community engagement. TIC conducts scientific research and long-term monitoring of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, focusing on endangered species such as sea turtles, dugongs, seagrasses, and coral reefs. Through its RUMAH EKO model, TIC promotes zero-waste initiatives by integrating recycling, environmental education, and community collaboration. The organisation also supports sustainable tourism by developing eco-tourism practices that benefit both nature and local communities. Through ongoing education and outreach, TIC empowers individuals and stakeholders to take meaningful action for a more sustainable future. Working in partnership with local communities, government bodies, researchers, and international collaborators, TIC is committed to fostering a resilient island environment where people and nature thrive in harmony.
