Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group and IPB University joined hands in a pig-nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) preservation action in Kao and Muyu rivers in Boven Digoel Regency, Papua, Saturday (12/16). This freshwater animal is an endemic one, found only in South Papuan regencies like Asmat, Mappi, Merauke, and Boven Digoel.

The joint project was initiated in an agreement signing with IPB University researchers on a five-year conservation deal that began in 2022 and would end in 2026.
