In the charity's own words
Turtle Foundation is a dedicated international volunteer effort with project sites in Indonesia & Cape Verde, cooperating with local communities to create a future where both sea turtles and people can thrive. We aim to prevent endangered sea turtles from becoming extinct due to the threats of poaching, the looting of turtle nests and destruction of their ecosystem by the expansion of tourism.
