Volunteer with Turtles in Sri Lanka

The project works towards preventing the extinction of sea turtles, a critically endangered species. You will help in the rehabilitation and release of turtles back into the sea. Apart from treating injured and sick sea turtles, you will also be involved in protecting nests and rescuing eggs so that they can be hatched without incident in the safety of our hatchery.

Your work here will be exceptionally varied, but also immensely interesting and rewarding, especially when you witness the release of a turtle back to the sea, often after many months of care.

Daily tasks involve cleaning the turtle tanks, feeding and cleaning the turtles, cleaning the beach and general area and identifying different kinds of turtles.
