Turtle is an endangered species and if not conserved can soon become extinct. The scientists have predicted that we will forever lose turtles in 20 years unless we preserve the creature and its habitats. Volunteer now in turtle conservation project and protect Lora turtle’s nesting population. Volunteers will protect nests from poachers of all forms, including humans. Our volunteers will also work alongside local community and implement many management strategies.

What difference does this project make?

The conservation is fervently trying to ensure that the turtles remain for many years to come. Through the work the staff is carrying out, in ensuring the eggs get hatched and that they aren’t stolen, the turtles will continue to come ashore and we all get to enjoy the spectacle of seeing them gently dawdle on the sand. The volunteers will help the project accomplish the goals and its aims quickly and will bring enthusiasm and dynamism. The project is available year round but the best season is from May until December.

Highlights of the program

Our volunteers will perform night patrols, from starting from 8 pm and sometimes lasting for 4 hours, to check the eggs and turtles coming offshore to hatch. You will work in the hatcheries and collect eggs and rescue turtles. You’ll also take carapace and nest-dimension measurements and tag the rear flippers of the turtles. Other work includes cleaning the beach and helping the administration of the project.
