We protect sea turtles, beautiful creatures that have lived on Earth for more than 110 million years. Today, they are threatened with extinction. With the local organisation Sehabat penyu Loang, we protect several beaches on Lembata Island in Indonesia. These beaches are a major breeding ground for the critically endangered sea turtle species. In 2022, a project to improve sea turtle conservation also began in Sri Lanka. We lead and fund the conservation work. We guard the beaches from poachers, transfer the eggs to a protected part of the beach, release the turtles into the sea as soon as they hatch, teach locals to make souvenirs from alternative materials, teach children about turtles and nature, and also teach English.

Save Turtle
We protect sea turtles, beautiful creatures that have lived on Earth for more than 110 million years. Today, they are threatened with extinction. Their population has declined by more than 90% in some places over the last 70 years. Locals steal turtle eggs from beaches and sell them to tourist restaurants, ripping their shells off alive to make souvenirs. With the local organisation Sehabat penyu Loang, we protect several beaches on Lembata Island in Indonesia. These beaches are a major breeding ground for the critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle, as well as the Olive ridley sea turtle and the green sea turtle. In 2022, a project to improve sea turtle conservation also began in Sri Lanka. We lead and fund the conservation work. We guard the beaches from poachers, transfer the eggs to a protected part of the beach, release the turtles into the sea as soon as they hatch, and teach locals to make souvenirs from alternative materials such as coconut. We teach children about turtles, about nature and also English. The educational materials we have created are used worldwide. As consultants, we also help in other parts of the world. In the Czech Republic, we are trying to raise public awareness about the situation of sea turtles, the causes of the threats to these rare reptiles and the ways we can help them.

Dekuji za vasi pomoc temto nadhernym tvorum!♡
Fandím vaší úžasné práci a snaze pomoc ochránit želvy.
Vlastním suchozemskou želvu již 17 let, bylo mi pět, když jsem ji jako maličkou dostala a v podstatě jsme spolu vyrostly. Želvy jsou mojí největší láskou a doufám, že se mi jednou podaří pomoci více a odjedu například jako dobrovolnice pomáhat želvičkám přímo na místě. Děkuji za vaši snahu a práci.
Pro želváčky ❤️
Díky za ochranu, máte můj obdiv a podporu!
Ráda přispěju organizaci, která dělá něco pro záchranu těchto nádherných zvířat
Skvělá práce, jen tak dál!
Zachráněné želvičky ze snůšky 100 želvích vajíček jsou pro radost Tomíka Křivky.
