It's estimated that only around 1 in 1,000 marine turtle hatchlings make it to adulthood.

There are seven species - hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead, flatback, olive ridley, Kemp's ridley and green turtle - and at least six of the seven species are at risk of extinction. Adopt a turtle for yourself or as a gift for a loved one.

Your adoption really helps

Animal adoptions like yours give a huge boost to our work. They not only help fund projects to work with local communities to monitor turtle movements and protect their habitat but also fund our other vital work around the world.

CERTIFICATE AND BACKGROUND

Marine turtles are excellent navigators - they often migrate hundreds, even thousands of kilometres between feeding and nesting grounds. Male turtles never leave the sea, but females come ashore to lay eggs - amazingly to the same beach where they themselves hatched.

Threats

How we can help

We're reducing the negative impact of fishing practices on marine turtles by, including the use of less-harmful fishing gear - for example, 'circle hooks' instead of traditional 'j' hooks can reduce accidental capture of turtles by up to 80%.

We're helping protect marine turtle habitats. In Fiji, we're working with local communities to protect, monitor and manage turtle nesting grounds.

Your adoption and support will help us:

Reduce accidental by-catch of turtles and lobbying to have on-board observers on fishing vessels

Influencing national policy including input into the Fiji Sea Turtle Recovery Plan

Sharing of data and insights with local communities to improve turtle conservation

Capacity building on law enforcement, protection, management, research and monitoring

Promoting sustainable development and livelihood diversification to reduce pressure on marine environment

Fund our other essential work around the world

Turtles have light, spongy bones that help them float.
