Lang Tengah Turtle Watch is a Malaysian turtle conservation organization with projects on Lang Tengah island, Tanjong Jara Resort, and Pulau Perhentian. Their turtle watch programme focuses on ongoing conservation efforts and long-term monitoring to better understand and conserve the nesting and in-water sea turtle populations. In addition to this, they work to preserve the coral reefs which are also habitats for sea turtles, and to educate and raise awareness among local communities, tourism operators and tourists through educational outreach programs as well as engagements in research and conservation efforts.
