Save the Gili Turtles & Help to Build a Hatchery
Organization information
Yayasan Ekosistem Gili Indah (Gili Eco Trust)
Location: Lombok, Indonesia
Summary
Gili Islands are famous for year-round experiences with endangered Green and Hawksbill turtles. We aim to create a safe haven for turtle nests that currently are under threat from poaching, trampling, storm surges and pollution, with a hatchery on the beach for protected incubation before immediate release to the ocean. Along with this, we want to boost eco-tourism with a Turtle Education Centre for guests to immerse themselves in the mysterious life of a sea turtle without cruel exploitation.
