Across the sunset in western ufuk, precisely in the Aroen Meubanja Conservation area in Keude Panga Village, Panga District, Aceh Jaya, Aceh Province, is seen to gather students, environmental activists as well as children to take off at the same time witnessing the tukik (ma turu) returned to its habitat.
Aroen Meubanja Pengyu Conservation Area established since 2012 with the moto "Asoe Laot Yang Kamoe Pinjam Beuna The rest of Keu Aneuk Cuco" (The sea area that we borrow so that it remains for the grandchildren) began from the initiative of the concern of young people and locals to the sustainability and preservation of turtle habitat.
The existence of a captivation and removal of turtles that have a wide range of 1,56 kilometers is an early step of effort to make the Pasie Aroen Panga beach area as an environmentally satisfying tourist location by prioritizing natural conservation as well as the aspects of learning and education with the aim so that each visitor can not only enjoy the beautiful beach but also get knowledge about the preservation of turtle.

The sore is about 63 children's tails of the kind of Pekang (Lepidochelys olivacea) released, one piece of maturity mice reaches the blue of the sea water and plus the wave saplings that bloom speed up the baby a tiny turtle reaches the off ocean to begin a new life.
There are two types of turtles that are often released, namely Buymbing (Dermochelys coriacea) and Lekang turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea). Since the beginning of 2012 until the beginning of January 2019 the Conservation of Penyu Aroen Meubanja has released 11.932 tukik Lekang and tukik Belimbing returned to its habitat.
The existence of Aroen Meubanja Turtle Conservation can be a hope for future generations to be able to see directly various types of species of tapic in its native habitat in the country.
