| Post rehabilitation success | Post rehabilitation success of the release of turles that have been in care for extended periods of time. With the use of satellite trackers these turtles can be monitored for release success.
The turtles have been found sick or injured from the Great Barrier Reef waters or beaches off Cape York Penninsula and taken to Cairns turtle rehabilitation centre where they are cared for until ready for release. Cairns turtle rehabilitation centre is a charitable organisation that relys on public and corporate funding. |
| Rehabilitated Olive Ridleys | These Olive Ridely turtles were washed up on the east coast of Cape York Penninsula. They were a few of the many victims of ghost nets. These nets are of South East Asian origin and drift down into the Gulf of Carpenteria on the Summer monsoon. The turtles were collected by the MApoon and Negnum rangers, and rehabilitated at the Pennyfarther turtle centre before release. |
| Atlantic Rising | We are an ambitious environmental education project currently in the middle of a 32 000km circumnavigation of the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way we are making films and educational materials for 15000 students in our network of schools (drawn from different countries around the ocean rim). We are very interested in turtles as exemplars of species which might be affected by climate change. Would be keen to collaborate with any projects on the Atlantic coastline who are interested. Our website is www.atlanticrising.org. Will |

| www.costaricaanimals.org | sea turtle protection and conservation, wildlife rescue, reforestation, & conservation education to implement necessary changes in locals' respect for animal rights. Rainsong has now begun an intensive sea turtle protection project on the beaches of Manzanilla de Cobano, Costa Rica. These beaches are a nesting home to the leatherback, the olive ridley, and the hawksbill. We are also helping to protect the reef offshore that attracts the sea turtles. We need to network with other sea turtle lovers to help us in this effort, as volunteers, fundraisers, organizers. Our volunteers enjoy a homestay atmosphere in the homes of members of the community. The cost for the volunteers for lodging and meals is only $35 per week, plus a $20 donation to the project. Total volunteers' costs per week is only $55, plus any necessary transportation costs! Rainsong staff has created the Manzanilla Ladies' Conservation Group, to empower the community to protect the sea turtles that come to their beaches and live in the sea off Manzanilla. The group also helps organize local volunteers for the sea turtle patrols. Rainsong now offers scholarships to local students who are unable to attend elementary or high school due to their families' financial difficulties. Although education is provided by the government in Costa Rica, the uniforms and materials are not provided. The mandatory costs for uniforms, materials, tuitions, etc. are a serious burden to many families, whose children are unable to attend school due to this hardship. Details on this program can be viewed on the blog on the website. We need your help to continue this program. We have also organized the ladies to begin reforestation projects in the area, also cottage industries crafting arts & crafts to market for funding more students' scholarships. All Rainsong sponsored students contribute time to the Rainsong sea turtle protection project, along with their families. They also enjoy many special opportunities, including private tutors, english classes, and training in many conservation skills and methods. Our goal is to educate ambassadors of conservation to spread environmental awareness and resolutions to the communities in our area and throughout Costa Rica.

| TCP Sri Lanka | Five species of marine turtles are still being exploited in Sri Lanka for their eggs and their meat. Coastal communities of Sri Lanka have to depend on their surrounding natural resources for their survival as they live in a third world’s developing country.
The Turtle Conservation Project (TCP) of Sri Lanka realized the chain connection between the coastal communities and coastal resources, which heavily depend on each other. Therefore, the TCP aims to provide alternatives to the coastal communities and to increase awareness on sustainable use of natural resources. TCP seeks the support from organizations and individuals who wish to join their hands with TCP to continue its community based conservation programs in Sri Lanka. Please contact us at
www.tcpsrilanka.org or turtle@sltnet.lk |
