Volunteers from all over the world join us in Greece every summer for the conservation of sea turtles and their habitats. Our main activities are sea turtle nest monitoring / protection, rescue and rehabilitation of sick/ injured turtles and raising public awareness for sea turtles and marine/coastal habitats. About 500 volunteers participate in ARCHELON's sea turtle conservation projects every year and many of them will come back for a second or third season with us.
