Jadestone continued its community engagement programs in the Kemaman area, nearby its PenMal operations, by organizing two initiatives aimed at instilling a conservation mindset among its volunteers.

River terrapin conservation program with local orphanage

The river terrapin activity brought together children from a nearby orphanage and educated them about terrapin habitats and their life cycles. The children are allowed to interact closely with the terrapins at the terrapin pond which provided deeper insights into these animals and the ecosystem they depend on. The event concluded with hatchlings release.

Beach cleaning activity

The beach cleaning event in Kemasik area, nearby Kemaman, was a large-scale community initiative, bringing over 200 participants,
including Jadestone employees and local community members, students from nearby local universities, technical institutes and the orphanage. In partnership with the local NGO Geng Plastik Ija (GPI), the volunteers successfully removed 1,260 kg of waste from the coastline. The event not only helped restore the local beach, but it also educated the volunteers on the importance of protecting coastal ecosystems and strengthened community bonds.
