Turtles

Volunteering with turtles is a truly unforgettable experience and it also helps to secure these marine animals with a future for years to come. Turtle volunteers are essential because all of the seven species of sea turtle are all listed as either vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered and without action, soon enough this damage will be irreversible. 

Sea turtles already don't have it easy, as hatchling survival rates are so low due to baby turtles being ideal prey for many predators both on land and in the sea, but the biggest threats that turtles face are due to human activity. These threats include hunting, overfishing, climate change and pollution - we are sure many of you will have seen videos on social media of endless turtles caught in nets or swimming amongst large amounts of rubbish. However, by joining one of our turtle volunteer programs, you can help to protect the animals from these threats!

Our turtle volunteer projects are located in some of the most beautiful places on earth, from dazzling Costa Rica to pristine Sri Lanka. By volunteering with turtles with The Great Projects, you could be in with a chance of caring for the turtles by collecting and protecting eggs, maintaining tanks and night patrols on the beach! 

Turtles desperately need some positive intervention, so secure a place to volunteer with turtles today!
