Proses bertelur tuntong laut (Batagur borneoensis) adalah momen penting dalam siklus hidupnya. 🐢

Betina dewasa akan naik ke daratan berpasir saat kondisi air surut dan suasana relatif aman. Dengan kaki belakangnya, ia menggali lubang sedalam ±20–30 cm sebagai tempat menyimpan telur. Dalam satu kali bertelur, tuntong laut dapat menghasilkan sekitar 10–25 butir telur, tergantung ukuran dan usia induknya.

Telur kemudian ditimbun kembali dengan pasir untuk menjaga suhu dan kelembapan alami. Proses inkubasi biasanya berlangsung sekitar 60–90 hari sebelum menetas.

Karena habitatnya semakin terancam dan populasinya menurun, proses alami ini sering membutuhkan pengawasan dan upaya penyelamatan untuk meningkatkan tingkat keberhasilan penetasan.

Melindungi satu sarang berarti menjaga satu generasi baru tetap hidup.

English:
The process of laying Painted terrapin (Batagur borneoensis) is an important moment in its life cycle. 🐢

Adult females will go up to sandy land when the tide is low and the atmosphere is relatively safe. With her hind legs, she dug a hole ±20–30 cm deep as a place to store eggs. In one egg laying, painted terrapin can produce around 10–25 eggs, depending on the size and age of the mother.

The eggs are then piled up again with sand to maintain the natural temperature and humidity. The incubation process usually lasts about 60–90 days before hatching.

Because the habitat is increasingly threatened and the population is decreasing, this natural process often requires supervision and rescue efforts to increase the success rate of hatching.

Protecting one nest means keeping a new generation alive.

🐢 Kenalan sama tuntong laut yuk!

Tuntong laut adalah kura-kura yang hidup di perairan payau, muara sungai, dan kawasan mangrove. Mereka naik ke darat hanya saat berjemur dan juga saat musim bertelur. Uniknya, makanan mereka didominasi tumbuhan seperti daun dan buah mangrove, jadi secara nggak langsung ikut bantu menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem pesisir.

Sayangnya, hidup tuntong laut nggak seaman kelihatannya. Telurnya sering jadi incaran, habitatnya makin berkurang karena mangrove rusak, dan aktivitas manusia di pesisir bikin ruang hidup mereka makin sempit.

Melindungi tuntong laut itu nggak bisa sendirian. Perlu jaga mangrove-nya, edukasi masyarakat, dan berhenti mendukung perdagangan satwa liar. Pelan-pelan, tapi kalau rame-rame, dampaknya bisa besar.

Yuk, lebih peduli sama satwa pesisir. Karena yang kita jaga hari ini, bakal jadi masa depan mereka besok. 🌱

English :
🐢 Let's get to know the Painted Terrapin!

Painted terrapin are turtles that live in brackish waters, river estuaries, and mangrove areas. They go ashore only when sunbathing and also during the spawning season. Uniquely, their food is dominated by plants such as mangrove leaves and fruits, so they indirectly help maintain the balance of the coastal ecosystem.

Unfortunately, the life of painted terrapin is not as safe as it seems. The eggs are often targeted, the habitat is decreasing because the mangroves are damaged, and human activities on the coast make their living space narrower.

Protecting the painted terrapin can't be alone. It is necessary to protect the mangroves, educate the community, and stop supporting wildlife trade. Slowly, but if it's crowded, the impact can be big.

Let's care more about coastal animals. Because what we take care of today, will be their future tomorrow. 🌱

Mangrove forests are vital coastal ecosystems that offer countless benefits to both nature and humans. These unique forests act as natural barriers, protecting shorelines from erosion and storm surges, while their complex root systems filter water and provide essential habitats for marine life, including fish, crabs, and birds. Mangroves also play a significant role in combating climate change by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

However, despite their importance, mangrove forests are facing severe threats from deforestation, pollution, and urban development. The loss of these crucial ecosystems puts not only biodiversity at risk but also the well-being of coastal communities. It’s time to protect and restore our mangrove forests, because their survival is essential for a sustainable future. 🌱🌍

What difference between tortoiseand turtle?

The main difference between turtles and tortoises is their habitat and physical adaptations. Tortoises are land animals with thick, sturdy legs designed for walking on land, while turtles are primarily aquatic or semi-aquatic and have webbed feet or flippers for swimming. Tortoises have a heavier, dome-shaped shell, while turtles have a more streamlined shell for efficient movement in water.
Tortoises and Turtles have unique ways of protecting themselves. Tortoises, being land-dwellers, use their hard, dome-shaped shells to retreat into for protection against predators. They can pull their heads, legs, and tails inside their shells when threatened.
Turtles, on the other hand, rely more on their ability to swim away quickly to escape danger. While their shells offer some protection, they are more vulnerable to predators in the ocean. Their primary defense is their speed and ability to dive deep into the water to evade threats.

Some facts about the berembang tree (Sonneratia sp).

1. This tree grows in the estuary area, which is the meeting of freshwater and seawater. This tree is also called mangrove apple because of its shape.

2. ⁠ Berembang fruit as a food source for Painted terrapin.

3. ⁠ Because of the high nutritional content in the fruit so that it can be processed into various kinds of food. In addition to food containment, this fruit can be processed into anti-septic soap because of the chemical content in the fruit.

4. ⁠ This tree has a height of around 15 m.

5. ⁠ It has pneumatophore roots and grows vertically around the tree.
