SAVE THE OCEAN

A Call for Conservation.

Introduction: The Earth’s oceans, which make up more than 70% of our planet’s surface, are essential for life. Beneath the shimmering water lies a world of unparalleled beauty, teeming with an astonishing variety of life forms – from the tiniest planktons to the majestic blue whales. However, this magnificent realm is facing a multitude of threats that demand our immediate attention and action.

The Importance of Ocean Conservation: The Ocean is vital to the well-being of every living creature on Earth, including us. The ocean plays a critical role in regulating our climate, acting as a massive carbon sink, absorbing heat, and distributing it around the globe. It is also the source of sustenance for billions of people, providing food, livelihoods, and economic value.

Threats to the Ocean: Despite its vastness, the ocean is vulnerable. It faces threats, many of which are human induced, including overfishing, plastic pollution, climate change and many more. Overfishing is depleting fish populations, leading to the collapse of ecosystems. Plastic pollution, with millions of tons of plastic waste entering the ocean annually, is choking marine life and poisoning our food chain. Climate change is causing sea levels to rise and altering ocean currents, disrupting the balance of marine ecosystems.

Impact on Marine Life: The consequences of these threats are dangerous to marine life. Coral reefs, often referred to as the “rainforests of the sea,” are dying at an alarming rate due to warming waters and ocean acidification. Iconic species like sea turtles are ingesting plastic, leading to injury and death. The livelihoods of coastal communities that rely on fishing are in jeopardy.

Conservation Efforts: Conservation organizations and passionate individuals around the world are taking action to protect our oceans. Projects to clean up plastic pollution, establish marine protected areas, and promote sustainable fishing practices are making a difference. These efforts demonstrate that when we come together, positive change is possible.

Conclusion: Our oceans are a source of wonder, a critical component of Earth’s life support system, and a shared responsibility. As we stand at a pivotal moment in history, the need for ocean conservation has never been more urgent. Together, we can ensure that the oceans continue to inspire, sustain, and enrich life on our blue planet for generations to come.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE THE OCEAN.

CONSERVATION

LANG TENGAH TURTLE WATCH

LTTW was established with the aim of saving endangered sea turtle populations on the East Coast of Malaysia. We have since expanded to coral rehabilitation initiatives and outreach education programs with local and international schools as well as universities. Since our inception in 2013, we have successfully saved over 150,000 endangered sea turtle eggs from being lost to poaching or being sold for consumption.

Malaysian Nature Society

The genesis of our society predates the independence of Malaysia. A group of British expatriates deeply interested in our country’s lush natural heritage decided that the abundant collection of field notes and natural history records, which they had accumulated, was vital to the country’s heritage and should be published. In 1940, with the publication of the Malayan Nature Journal Volume 1, the Malaysian Nature Society was born.

Evolving from a core of society volunteers, MNS’ Kuala Lumpur-based headquarters now has a team of 24 dedicated staff members who see to the day-to-day running of the society’s administration and activities including those based at centres.

“Registered with the ROS and recognised by the IRB as a tax exempt organisation, Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia (TCS) is the first non-profit organisation in Malaysia that is dedicated to the conservation of freshwater turtles. The aim of the Society is to recover the depleted wild populations of turtles, particularly freshwater turtles through research, community- based conservation, education, public awareness and community empowerment. TCS also provides a platform for the local women community to generate income through merchandising as well as fundraising for turtle conservation.”

BluHope

The Blu Hope campaign came about because of the COVID-19 pandemic! Following the exposé that the UK and other developed countries were illegally exporting plastic waste to Malaysia, the British High Commission – Kuala Lumpur (BHC-KL) took steps to have the British plastic waste repatriated and initiated its Green is GREAT Plastics campaign. The UK and Malaysian Governments have been working closely to help educate the public about plastic pollution and encourage business and industry to develop a plastic circular economy.
