What We Do

We aim to create a future where sea turtles and their habitats are sustainably managed and protected through our marine conservation efforts.

Our Objectives

Perpetuate ongoing conservation initiatives and long-term monitoring programmes aimed at enhancing understanding and safeguarding the nesting and in-water sea turtle populations.
Rehabilitate coral reefs which are essential habitats for sea turtles.
Cultivate and increase awareness among local communities, schools, business operators and interested parties through educational outreach programmes and active involvement in our research and conservation activities.

Ongoing Projects

Lang Tengah

Lang Tengah

Imagine waking up on a remote tropical island, untouched and lesser-known, where nature’s splendour unfolds in unique harmony. This is Lang Tengah, The Eagle in the Middle, a jewel off the northeast coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

Tanjong Jara

Facing a crescent-shaped beach of golden sand, Tanjong Jara Resort emerges as an oasis of serenity nestled on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Amidst the pristine beauty of nature’s canvas, Tanjong Jara Resort stands as a testament to traditional luxury and well-being, its very essence steeped in the timeless allure of age-old Malay rituals. Yet, beyond its opulent facades lies a deeper, more profound connection to the natural world – where the beaches adjacent to the resort serve as a nesting ground for Terengganu’s green turtles and painted terrapins from March to October.

Chakar Hutan

In the ethereal expanse of Pantai Chakar Hutan, where the whispers of the ocean meet the gentle rustle of casuarina trees, lies a sanctuary revered by both land and sea. Here, amidst the tranquil embrace of nature, a timeless ritual unfolds: the annual nesting of the majestic green sea turtles. With an unwavering commitment to conservation, in 2022, PULIHARA collaborated with the Terengganu Department of Fisheries to safeguard the eggs and monitor the nesting female population at Chakar Hutan.
