A community-based alternative livelihood project is helping protect threatened green sea turtles and increasing community incomes in the Turtle Islands, one of the largest sea turtle nesting grounds in the Coral Triangle. The project involves providing seed capital, materials, and skills training for women and youth organizations so that members can earn additional income from making handicrafts out of recycled materials and be discouraged from collecting sea turtle eggs. Since the project began in September 2011, both groups have reported their income has increased by $35-$71 per person per month. USAID's Coral Triangle Support Partnership in collaboration with Conservation International's Sulu-Sulawesi Seascape Program is supporting the livelihood project as part of a larger program to protect and sustain the Turtle Islands Heritage Protected Area, an area in the Coral Triangle region co-managed by Malaysia and the Philippines.

The Maliangin Island Community Association located within the proposed one-million hectare Tun Mustapaha Park area has signed a contract to sell 1,200 pieces of woven handicrafts to Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort and Spa strengthening the sustainability of its community-based livelihood and marine resource management activities.  The handicraft project, which builds on  a public-private partnership forged with Shangri-La in recent years with the support of WWF-Malaysia and USAID's Coral Triangle Support Partnership, is expected to boost the community's income, reduce its dependence on marine resources, and partially pay for coral reef monitoring in the marine park. The project, managed by women and youth, will roll up into a larger program that will include eco-tourism and that will then be further replicated to other sites in the Park. Tun Mustapha Park, which is located in the western part of the Coral Triangle, is home to endangered green sea turtles and dugongs making it a strategic area for sustainable ecotourism. It is also source of livelihood for 80,000 coastal inhabitants of diverse ethnic groups.

Tapir conservation, research, tourism and habitat protection: always in dilemma.

Why we want to conserve or protect tapir in their natural habitat. For tourism, just conserve for future generation, or just keep it for no reason? Need more justification to show it benefit to human being. All about money. Therefore researches are needed. In the process of doing research, the animals might extinct before research completed for application. Integration between many agencies must be done immediately before everything become late.
