About ARCHELON ~ Since 1983, the primary objective of ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece has been to protect the sea turtles and their habitats in Greece through monitoring and research, developing and implementing management plans, habitat restoration, raising public awareness and rehabilitating sick and injured turtles. ARCHELON is a Partner to the UNEP/Mediterranean Action Plan, a member of the European Union for the Conservation of the Coasts (EUCC). Members of ARCHELON participate in the IUCN/Marine Turtle Specialist Group and contribute to the formulation of the international strategy for the conservation of sea turtles.

On the 6th of April I abseiled down my university building to help raise money for this wonderful charity! Also, I will be going to Greece in July for a month to assist ARCHELON workers on the beaches of Greece. My time there will be to assist them with their day-to-day work and help achieve their cause.

All donations are greatly appreciated and 100% will be given to Archelon.
