À propos du programme

Our volunteer program aimed to support the field work being carried out in Belek and Kızılot Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches. Both Belek and Kızılot being tourism investment zones while being important nesting areas brings extra importance to their protection where efforts on conservation must be planned carefully in order to ensure applicability and sustainability.

Teams formed by both international and national volunteers, and experienced field leaders and experts in those areas monitor the beaches throughout summer, record nests, follow nests and collect data related about nests till baby sea turtles emerge from the nests, take records of problems causing effect on sea turtle nests, hatchlings and population, put cages for protection or information in needed areas and also work on raising awareness among tourists, locals and tourism facilities.

 

Our volunteer program gives a chance to be a part of a cause for nature and also get the experience on team work, scientific work, and conservation work needed for students planning their career on academic fields around this.

Journée typique

  • Morning shifts for locating and recording new nests and following activities on those, recorded nests (this task is carried out around 3 am to 11 am)
  • Upon returning to campsites: clean copies of data collected from the field work are made and also recorded into our digital database as backup copies.
  • Breakfast/lunch, camp cleaning, daily meeting (One day camp issues, one day field issues and one day free of meeting), picking up food and supplies for the camp from the sponsoring facilities 
  • If any planned activities like caging etc. exists or any work left from morning shifts, those are carried out in the afternoon
  • If no work is assigned to you after meeting it is free time till night time
  • night shifts carried out throughout the nesting period for locating nesting turtles to collect measurements and apply tags for future monitoring (8-9 pm to 3-5 am in the morning)

    •  

    * Shifts in the field are carried out with minimum 2 persons

    * Teams for field work (morning and night shifts) and cleaning duties planned and listed for 3-day periods, unfinished work from morning shifts are carried out by same morning team as much as possible and other works like caging nests are planned daily or day before and carried out in the afternoon

    *When training period of the volunteers is over, every volunteer will be able to have off days where he/she will be excluded from any daily work, they will have time to rest, traveling to close by areas and for recreational activities for a day. Frequency depends on the number of volunteers and work load where field leaders arrange accordingly and fairly.

Activités de loisirs

As our work require time flexibility in case of unscheduled events (like injured turtles, etc.) occur we ask our volunteers to spend their daily free time close to campsite where in emergency we can reach them on time. To compensate this, we have 'off days' (where you will be totally free of any work, meeting and camp activities so that you can go and spend more time on areas or have a full rest if you prefer) but always keep in mind this is a physically demanding work therefore you need to be ready for next day's activities.

Sea is close to our camp sites for swimming and enjoying the sun on your free times. Also, there is a close by shopping centre for the ones interested in shopping.

On your off days, there are couple of activity options close to area as well;

  • Museums
  • Antalya Old Town for sightseeing and boat tours
  • Many archaeological sites around to visit
  • Rafting at Köprülü Kanyon (which we time to time do as a whole team activity)
  • Sometimes concerts on Aspendos Amphitheatre (which from time to time we receive free tickets as a gift to our volunteers)

Sur le projet

Ecological Research Society (EKAD) Sea Turtle Conservation and Monitoring Project in Antalya / Belek and Kızılot Nesting Beaches.

Rencontrez votre hôte

Ecological Research Society (EKAD) was established in 2003, with the efforts of academicians most of whom are experts in biodiversity and nature conservation. Since its establishment, EKAD has been in a harmonious cooperation with universities, related ministries, municipalities, other NGO’s, and private enterprises. To this day, we continue our mission by increasing and expanding our activities with the contributions of national and international volunteers joining our studies.

EKAD has been running 'Sea Turtle Conservation and Monitoring Project' in Antalya - Belek Sea Turtle Nesting Beach since 1998 (as university research group before 2003) and recently added Kızılot Sea Turtle Nesting Beach (also in Antalya) to it's Project sites as well.

Our volunteer program is carried out in Belek and Kızılot Nesting Beaches. Belek is one of the largest known sea turtle nesting areas in the Mediterranean (2nd largest, according to Canbolat, 2004) and Kızılot Nesting Beach is another promising nesting beach according to 2021 results.

In those projects, we have many goals such as monitoring sea turtle populations, determining and minimizing the negative impacts on nests and hatchlings, educating both the local people and the tourists about sea turtles, raising awareness about the conservation efforts, and encouraging contributions to these efforts.

Work done by volunteers do not require extreme physical conditioning except an endurance to heat, humidity and long walks on the beach, and the ability to work and live together in a diverse group as a team member.

We are looking enthusiastic individuals who wants to be a part of this journey, contribute to the effort, experience sea turtles first-hand, has a work ethic and a love for nature.

We have been working on sea turtle conservation over 20 years with a well-earned experience and still trying to add more of it. We believe in professionalism in our work and also believe having fun is part of doing a great work.

If you are planning a career on related subjects this will be a great opportunity for you to add to your know how and we are hoping to see you as part of EKAD team in the long run as well.

2019 at Turkish Sea Turtle Conservation Support

I volunteered with EKAD for about two months in the summer of 2019. It was an incredible experience to witness the full cycle of a young turtle, from the mother laying eggs in the sand to helping the babies hatch and make it to the sea. It gave me much-needed field experience in the realm of marine ...
