Turtle Sanctuary In Segari, Perak

The Pasir Panjang Segari Turtle Sanctuary, is located just a couple of miles from the town of Lumut in the state of Perak. Visitors get the opportunity to
learn about the turtles in their natural habitat. Run by the Department of Fisheries, this hatchery and research center is a quiet stretch of beach and main
landing area for the Green Turtle, Olive Ridley Turtle and Painted Terrapin. Due to the decline in turtle landing over the years, the sanctuary provides a heaven for
baby turtles who struggle to survive against their natural predators and trawler nets.

At the sanctuary, visitors can watch turtles being hatched and hold newborns in their hand. Visitors can also feed rescued turtles their favorite food - fresh
cucumber. Peak nesting season is between March and June.
