Introduction
The turtle population is in a critical state worldwide, however, in areas with high tourist numbers the species is even more threatened. Our goal is to create awareness around the sensitive nesting and breeding areas of these creatures, create safe and effective breeding grounds for them as well as provide emergency care to those in need.
Report
This project aims to protect the critical population of the turtles in Thailand by providing a safe area for turtles to lay their eggs so that they continue to populate even when the tourists arrive back to the beaches. Our goal is to promote sustainable tourism as we aware that the islands heavily rely on this for an income, however, it needs to be in a way that doesn't affect local species. A donation of $100 will provide for necessary marine conservation workshops to local fisherman and tour operators.
