"Turtles play a critical role in keeping marine ecosystems healthy; the same ecosystems which sustain our fisheries and tourism industries that provide food and livelihoods for millions of people. Marine turtles are threatened with extinction due to various factors, including: the practice of consuming turtle eggs, marine and nesting beach pollution as well as illegal trade of turtles and their parts.

Leatherback turtles have already been declared functionally extinct in Malaysia. In the 1950s, there were 10,000 leatherback nests in Rantau Abang each year; now there are less than 10. Moreover, turtle protection laws are inadequate. Please sign up and help save turtles!"

Your signature confirms your support for the WWF-Malaysia “Egg = Life” Campaign for better protection of marine turtles through the following:

1. Support laws that will ban the sale and consumption of all turtle eggs throughout Malaysia
2. Support the call for comprehensive and holistic Federal legislation to conserve marine turtles
3. Pledge never to consume turtle eggs, or trade in turtles or their parts

So give us your signature. By meeting up with us on our road trip. Or printing the petition form and collecting signatures on your own. Or by pledging online at www.saveturtles.my

We need your help. The turtles need your help.
