In July I am going to Crete to volunteer for Archelon Turtle Conservation for 4 weeks. I'll be helping to protect their habitats, raise awareness in the local communities and hotels.

Archelon relies heavily on voluntary work.
- Every year with Archelon over 2,500 nests are protected against human threats, predation and sea inundation.
-Every year around 300 turtles are tagged in order to monitor their movements in the sea. Recently satellite transmitters have been used.
-Over 50 injured sea turtles are treated every year at the Rescue Centre at Glyfada (Athens).

It is so important this work continues any donations will be muchly appreciated
