Turtle Foundation is an international non-profit dedicated to protecting and conserving endangered sea turtles; current projects in Indonesia and Cape Verde.

We're not only harming our lives, but also those of all marine animals which are directly threatened by the plastic we produce and use!

We use tons of plastic — from packaging to toys and everyday tools. But where does it all go? Unfortunately, much of it makes its way to the ocean, causing harm to marine life. Once there, it doesn't break down easily & continues to pollute ecosystems via One World One Ocean

The final results of last year's nesting season of the loggerhead turtle on Boa Vista, Cabo Verde are published. Together with Fundação Tartaruga we've secured 10,539 nests on the protected beaches! This all took place between June and October 2023 – what an amazing result!🐢🙌

Some weeks ago, a very astonishing mail of young sea turtle activists arrived ... 🐢💛

Y4 were inspired by the text Island to research the conservation of sea turtles. They sent their fact files to various organisations and have received replies. We are so proud of their enthusiasm and the effort they have put into this project. Thank you @WWF @TurtleFound 💚💙

Great days of #knowledge #sharing lie behind us. Our colleagues Janin (Turtle Foundation, on the left) and Kate (Fundaçao Tartaruga) went on invitation by BIOPAMA & @IUCN_PA to Nairobi to share their experiences with other conservationists. Thanks for this great opportunity!

Hey Cartagena, we're here to talk about #seaturtles. Our Scientific Director Dr Thomas Reischig reviewed the last 5 years with the dog and drone team on Boa Vista and its efficiency yesterday. New record low of 10 poached turtles – let's call it a success! #ISTS41_Cartagena

Although sadly, we missed some absentees at the #ISTS41 , we enjoyed the African Regional Meeting in Cartagena. Sending turtle love to all those who did not receive their well deserved visas 🐢🙌

A group of boaters fishing off the coast of Jalisco, Mexico, recently freed a sea turtle that had become entangled in discarded fishing nets. Fishing gear is one of the greatest threats to sea turtles. Check out the rescue video here: tinyurl.com/57tcfb3a
