Om programmet

Six species of sea turtles are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN Red List as threatened or endangered. The green sea turtle, specifically, is classified as endangered. This volunteer program in Thailand, in partnership with The Royal Thai Navy’s Sea Turtle Conservation Centre, focuses on conserving endangered green sea turtles. 
Tasks include cleaning tanks, providing treatments, and conducting research to enhance understanding of the species. The program aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Climate Action, Life below Water, Life on Land, and Partnerships for the Goals. Participants have a unique opportunity to actively support green sea turtle conservation in Thailand.
You’ll live and work in Ban Nam Khem, a village in Southern Thailand’s Phang Nga province. The area features varied landscapes, from mangroves to pristine white-sand beaches. Phang Nga stands out with its limestone cliffs and scenic coastlines, making it a unique place for your experience.
