Featured project

Turtle Diaries

India

Key Objective:

Educating the public about the four species of sea turtles that breed in India’s coastal habitats, and facilitating dialogue between scientists and local community-based conservation groups through the effective use of media tools.

Why this is important:

While several groups have the knowledge base to put effective conservation actions into practice, others lack practical experience in implementing appropriate measures. These groups are beginning to pool resources through the efforts of the Turtle Action Group (TAG). The vision for the Turtle Diaries project is to provide media tools to assist in conservation education and to empower the communities to share their knowledge base and resources.
