Conserving the Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles of Peninsular Malaysia
This project generates detailed information on the illegal online trade of tortoises and freshwater turtles in Peninsular Malaysia to support targeted enforcement and inform conservation planning. It also raises awareness among key stakeholders and the public to build support for the conservation of these species and contribute to reducing demand through combined research, education, and advocacy efforts.
The Monitor Conservation Research Society (MONITOR) is a non-profit organisation committed to protecting species threatened by illegal wildlife trade. Focusing on lesser-known species, MONITOR uses evidence-based scientific research to halt their decline. By investigating wildlife trade trends nationally and internationally, they provide vital data to support authorities in strengthening laws and enforcement. Their work includes efforts to conserve hornbills, porcupines, otters, and reptiles.
