Juara Turtle Project is a conservation and research effort that aims to develop highly considerate practices regarding Sea Turtles and environment in and around Kg Juara and Tioman Island while also creating a research database of the natural life on and around Tioman Island for use as reference and as support for protection of Tioman’s ecosystems. The rising threats include large-net fishing, egg collection, beach development, global warming, overfishing, littering, etc. Thus, Awareness Education & Outreach program, Nest Protection and Research and Data Collection are ways that we try and help solve these problems.
