Malaysian Turtle Conservation Programme

Aquaria Adopt a Turtle ~ Project to Protect the species ~

Project Adopt A Turtle is a collaborative conservation effort between Department of Fisheries Malaysia (DoFM), The Body Shop, Media Prima and Aquaria KLCC to rehabilitate the endangered turtles and terrapins.

This project aims to educate the public on turtle and terrapin biology (feeding, breeding and nesting), rescue and rehabilitation efforts through the Turtle Education Centre in Aquaria KLCC and carry out the work of conservation and preservation of the species through turtle and terrapin researchers and experts in DoFM .

Through the 1,500 micro-chipped turtles and terrapins released, turtle researchers and conservationists will be able to examine turtle and terrapin behaviors, investigate migratory patterns and monitor their survival rate better. The ability to track them through the microchips will con-tribute to the survival of the threatened species.

Donors will be presented with an adoption kit that carries the details of the microchip, a certificate of adoption and memo-rabilia of the project. Updates and progress reports of the microchipped turtles and terrapins will be monitored by the researchers and posted on Aquaria’s website for donors to keep track of their turtles or terrapins.

The public can adopt the turtles at Aquaria KLCC or through any of 48 Body Shop outlets nationwide while Media Prima will be broad-casting the project via TV3’s Malaysia Hari Ini (MHI) and Majalah 3 throughout the duration of the project.

What more can you do to help them?

- Avoid turtle or terrapin-based products i.e. souvenirs, bags, accessories.

- Do not eat turtle meat and eggs.

- Adhere to turtle watching guidelines during turtle beach nesting.

- Do not litter. Plastic bags and rubbish that are washed down to sea choke and kill turtles.

- Support turtle conservation agencies.

- Spread the message of saving the turtles and terrapins.

My trip to Aquaria KLCC

Aquaria KLCC is conceptualized & built based on the Journey of water from land to sea.Embark on a journey from misty mountains down majestic rivers, through lush rainforests and waterlogged mangroves. Dive deeper to navigate through colorful coral reefs and dive head on into the ominous deep blue sea. The journey starts at the waterfall in the mountains. From here the water flows to lower expanse.

Upon entering the aquarium, visitors will be greeted by a stylish and colourful gallery that enables them to travel back in time to discover the evolution of fish – the world’s first vertebrates. This stunning blue water exhibit aims to enthuse and excite visitors.

Flooded Forest Tube Tank


This unique 5.3 metre high Flooded Forest Tube tank enchants visitors with aquatic exhibits that languidly swim within the water column up to the treetops.



Underwater Tunnel

The climax of the journey is the tunnel of the KL Aquaria. On a moving walkway inside the 90m acrylic tunnel, a view only previously accessible to divers venturing into the depths of the brilliant ocean is presented.


The 55mm-thick tunnel is curved, made to withstand an enormous amount of pressure from the 2.7 million litres of water that fills The Living Oceans aquarium. The glass is custom-made in Germany.

You can see more than 3,000 sea creatures of various shapes and sizes living harmoniously in this simulated natural habitat and they can hide in the hidden shipwreck, colonized by inquisitive reef inhabitants. Don miss exhibits like the Sand Tiger Sharks, stingrays, eels and more.
