Turtle Foundation

Vision & Mission Our vision is a future where sea turtles and their habitats are sustainably protected, healthy, and safe from threat of extinction and destruction. Our mission is to contribute to sea turtle conservation at our own project sites by cooperating with local communities to create a future where both sea turtles and people can thrive. The threat to sea turtles is ever increasing. On Cape Verde as well as on Bali and in many other places, a large number of adult turtles continue to be slaughtered in a bestial way. Other regions, like Berau in Indonesia, face the dilemma of the complete looting of turtle nests.

Species conservation is often a tough bullet to bite - especially in developing countries. However, we must not close our eyes: If we don't do something now, in many places of the world, a countless number of species will not survive the next few years and disappear forever.
