Bali Sea Turtle Conservation Experience
Learn about the sea turtles and join the conservation efforts at a turtle center in Bali to give this ancient species a better chance of survival.
Bali’s coastal line is a nesting habitat for sea turtles. Each year from April to October, female turtles come up and lay their eggs in almost the exact location where they hatched some thirty to forty years ago. Sea turtles species commonly found nesting in Bali are the olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) and green (Chelonia mydas). Sometimes we see hawksbill turtles emerged. Feral animals and human predation of turtle eggs, fishing accidents, beach development and misleading artificial lights are the major threats to sea turtles in these areas.
Sea turtle conservation community in Bali continuously does egg-rescue, beach-cleaning, provide hatching facility and treatment for injured turtles to sustain the existence of this ancient air-breathing marine reptile. Most turtle centers here are simple and operate based on donations and volunteer supports.
Participating in our Bali Sea Turtle Experience gives you an opportunity to support local conservation efforts and first-hand experience of working with sea turtles.
