Did you know?
๐ŸŒŽ Sea turtles have roamed our oceans for more than 100 million years, surviving since the age of the dinosaurs.
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia is home to four species of sea turtles; The Green, Hawksbill, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles, which nest along our coasts and islands.
๐Ÿชธ Sea turtles play an important role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems by supporting seagrass beds and coral reefs.
โš ๏ธ Today, they face growing threats from plastic pollution, habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade, bycatch and climate change.

World Sea Turtle Day is a reminder that protecting sea turtles means protecting the health of our oceans. Through conservation, responsible tourism and collective action, we can help ensure these ancient marine travellers continue to thrive for generations to come. ๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿชธ World Coral Reef Day ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’™

Did you know?๐ŸŒŽ Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor but support around 25% of all marine species.๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia is home to vibrant coral reef ecosystems that sustain biodiversity, fisheries, tourism and coastal communities.โš ๏ธ Climate change, pollution and unsustainable human activities continue to threaten these vital underwater ecosystems.

In conjunction with World Coral Reef Day, ALAM is proud to highlight our coral reef conservation efforts through the ALAM Be-Leaf Redang programme and  Rakan Bumi:  Projek Planet Rakan Muda 2026.

On 18 April 2026, together with the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS), Reef Check Malaysia, Redang Marine Conservation Group (RMCG), local communities and youth volunteers, we carried out a coral reef rehabilitation initiative at Pulau Redang. The programme was witnessed by YB Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari, Minister of Youth and Sports.

Key achievements included:๐Ÿชธ 1,250 coral fragments replanted๐ŸŒŠ Establishment of a 2-hectare coral rehabilitation site๐Ÿ“ˆ Ongoing maintenance and monitoring to support coral growth and ecosystem recovery๐Ÿค Training and empowerment of youth islanders through RMCG to strengthen local conservation capacity

Often called the โ€œrainforests of the seaโ€, coral reefs play a crucial role in protecting coastlines and sustaining marine life. Through collective action and community stewardship, we can help restore and safeguard these precious ecosystems for future generations. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ“ธ Join the ALAM IG Challenge #2 from 15 May โ€“ 17 July 2026 and share your passion for nature and environmental conservation with us!

๐ŸŒŠ World Dugong Day ๐Ÿ‹๐ŸŒฑ

Did you know?
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia is home to important dugong populations, especially in the waters of Johor, Sabah and Sarawak.
๐ŸŒฟ Dugongs are known as the โ€œgardeners of the seaโ€ because they feed on seagrass and help maintain healthy marine ecosystems.
๐Ÿ’™ Seagrass meadows not only support dugongs, but also store carbon, protect coastlines and provide habitats for many marine species.
โš ๏ธ Today, dugongs face growing threats from habitat loss, coastal development, marine pollution, boat strikes and accidental entanglement in fishing nets.

Lets helps create a safer home for these gentle marine mammals. ๐ŸŒโœจ

๐Ÿ“ธ Join the ALAM IG Challenge #2 from 15 May โ€“ 17 July 2026 and share your creativity, environmental stories, and love for nature with us. Together, letโ€™s inspire more action for marine conservation and a sustainable future. ๐Ÿ’š

โ™ป๏ธ International Plastic Free Day ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’š

Did you know?๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ More than 400 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced globally every year.๐ŸŒŠ Around 11 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans annually, harming marine life and ecosystems.๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ In Malaysia, single-use plastics remain one of the major contributors to waste pollution, impacting rivers, coastlines and biodiversity.

Plastic pollution does not disappear โ€” it breaks down into microplastics that can enter our food chain, water systems and environment. Small daily actions such as using reusable bags, bottles and containers can create a meaningful impact when done collectively. ๐ŸŒฑ

This International Plastic Free Day, letโ€™s rethink our consumption habits and take steps towards a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable future. Together, every action counts. โœจ

๐Ÿ“ธ Join the ALAM IG Challenge #2 from 15 May โ€“ 17 July 2026 and showcase your creativity through environmental stories, sustainable living practices and moments that inspire positive action for the planet. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’š
