Sea Turtle Conservation project on the island of Nusa Penida off Bali

This wonderful marine project for sea turtles is located on the charming island of Nusa Penida, a short boat ride from the mainland of Bali. Here you live in a wonderfully beautiful environment, close to lukewarm dips in the Indian Ocean, and many exciting sights. As a volunteer, you'll help collect important data of the turtle population on Nusa Penida. You'll also care for the turtles and keep their pools clean. During your volunteer trip to amazing Bali, you'll experience an amazing culture while helping sea turtles, and meet local children who want to learn English.

Project mission

The project's mission is to monitor, identify different species and preserve the sea turtles in the Nusa Penida area. They also work with monitoring to ensure that turtle hatchlings reach the ocean safely.

Volunteer work

Sea turtles don't build nests and lay eggs all year round, so depending on what time of year you are at the project your tasks may vary.

Examples of volunteer activities:

  • Identify different species of turtles
  • Collect eggs
  • Make sure that turtles hatchlings get to the ocean safely
  • Keep the turtle pools clean
  • Maintenance work of the center
  • If given the opportunity, teach English at a local school

Working hours can vary from week to week, depending on how many volunteers are on the project. You usually work in the morning, 9:00 am to 11:00 am – cleaning the turtle pools, washing turtles and feeding them. In the afternoon, 2:00 pm to –4:00 pm – the tasks are beach clean-ups, collecting seagrass or teaching at school.

The work with the turtles is not heavy, most important is that they receive care. At the local schools you are a valuable resource, as English knowledge will contribute to better future opportunities for students.
