malaysian ecosystems, full of life and rich in biodiversity where threatened species and local communities thrive side by side
Tengah Island Conservation (TIC) is a science-based, community-driven conservation initiative based in Mersing Johor, Malaysia. As a non-profit organization, TIC is dedicated to preserving and restoring the environment and the island’s rich biodiversity through a holistic approach that integrates environmental protection, sustainable practices, and community engagement.
TIC work is structured around four key conservation pillars:
TIC operates in collaboration with local communities, government agencies, researchers, and international partners. Our mission is to foster a resilient island ecosystem and environment as a whole to protect where nature and people thrive in harmony.
Why we do what we do…
A quote from Mark Carwardine below summarises our inspiration to do what we are doing at TIC.
“...while nature has considerable resilience, there is a limit to how far that resilience can be stretched. No one knows how close to the limit we are getting. The darker it gets, the faster we’re driving.
There is one last reason for caring, and I believe that no other is necessary. It is certainly the reason why so many people have devoted their lives to protecting the likes of rhinos, parakeets, kakapos, and dolphins. And it is simple this: the world would be a poorer, darker, lonelier place without them.”
