Crowdfunding for turtle conservation

Crowdfunding for turtle conservation
By admin


World Turtle Day is coming up on Friday May 23, and with turtle conservation relying heavily on private donations and volunteer work Templeberg Villa is doing its bit to help out.

The Australian-owned villa in Galle, will be promoting a crowdfunding project to support the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation (KTSC) project in Sri Lanka.

The project is currently trying to raise $5000 to improve the education facility, improve turtle habitat, build up breeding programs and provide supplies to KSTC’s turtle hatcheries, which house up to 700 baby turtles.  With five of the seven species of turtles in the world living in Sri Lanka this is an important cause. 

The unique collaboration between the Sri Lankan villa and the turtle conservation program is the first project of its kind. The project is also being run in association with Wildlife Volunteer Crowdfunding, which helps organisations like Templeberg Villa raise money for critically needed environmental projects.

For a small donation you can make a huge difference. To make a donation or for more information on the program, click here.
