Did you know that Green Sea Turtles are considered an endangered species? Volunteer in Bali and see how you can help save these magnificent creatures. This project aims to rescue and rehabilitate sea turtles that are gathered from local fishermen. You will be an integral member of a team that is caring for injured turtles and helping them to return to their natural environment. You will also gather data that will then be sent to a worldwide marine conservation organization. This adventure will also connect volunteers to the local Balinese community where you will educate children and teach them the importance of turtle conservation. This is a rewarding experience for anyone who wants to make a difference in marine life and help take care of injured turtles until you release them back into the wild. You are also teaching locals the importance of these precious sea turtles and encouraging them to care for their environment.
