Turtle Conservation in Bali - Over 20,000 Happy Volunteers since 2003

Do you want to help save endangered sea turtles? What if you could travel to exotic Bali to participate in a turtle conservation volunteer program? The turtle population in Bali is endangered and their population is rapidly declining year by year. The turtles are affected negatively due to the growing demand for their meat, eggs and shells causing loss of eggs of the beach and increase in poaching activities. They also suffer due to the growing settlements in the beaches, pollution in the oceans and unethical tourism. There is an urgent need to protect these turtle as their decline will also negatively impact other marine species.

In this Turtle conservation program, you will work under the guidance of turtle experts to protect the turtles from poachers by patrolling the beaches, watching over the nesting turtles, and collecting the eggs for relocation. In the hatchery, you will dig nests for the collected eggs and once the hatchings emerge, you will take care of them for their release back into the sea. You will also take part in rescue and rehabilitation operations, community education and gather data on the turtle population and behavior. Your work in program will help preserve the natural habitats and make a positive difference in the local sea-turtle population. With your help, the turtles will be safe from extinction and they will be able to enjoy a better quality of life. By educating the public about the plight of turtles, you will raise much needed awareness and help ensure that they are not exploited. You will also get a wonderful chance to work with the turtles hands-on, observe them up close and learn about conservation efforts.
