See Turtles

Great organization with caring and dedicated people. They are doing such important work.

I have been a donor to SEE Turtles from its inception and am now a member of the monthly donor club. They have done amazing work protecting sea turtles; helping local communities; educating the public not only about sea turtles, but also about how to recognize and avoid items made from tortoise shells with their SEE Shell app; providing grants for plastic recycling programs; and more.

I've been familiar with SEE Turtles since its founding, and have always been impressed with how active and effective the organization is. It runs super lean from the administrative side but expertly leverages resources into broad impacts with many groups in many locations. The organization has creatively developed several unique programs to raise money and implement activities to conserve sea turtles through support for communities and community-focused organizational partners. I like them so much I recently joined the Board of Directors! ;)

In the beginning, when we needed it most, SEE turtles supported our initiative to reduce plastic pollution. Now, being operational and having an amazing team, we're well aware that SEE turtles support has been essential for us - Green Phenix. The SEE turtle team is professional, supportive and their work really makes a difference.

Saya tidak begitu tahu dari mana saya harus menyampaikan terkait pekerjaan mulia ini. Penyu adalah bagian dari ekosistem perairan yang sangat penting dan juga yang lainnya. Papua Barat, bagian timur Indonesia adalah lokasi peneluran penyu belimbing dan penyu lainnya yang sampai saat ini di lestarikan dan dijaga oleh Masyarakat lokal dengan pengembangnya dari Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat, Universitas Papua. Pekerjaan yang mulia ini membutuhkan dedikasi, tenaga dan pikiran dalam melestarikan hewan purba yang mendekati kepunahan dari berbagai aspek lingkungan dan yang lainnya. Maka dari itu, menjaga untuk massa depan yang lebih baik adalah tanggung jawab bersama, kalau bukan sekarang kapan lagi, kalau bukan kita siapa lagi.

SEE Turtles is an extremely dedicated organization that has had a profoundly positive impact on the turtle population globally. I have the utmost confidence that my donations really do make a difference. I have supported their "Billion Baby Turtles" program since its launch in 2013, but their other initiatives like "Too Rare to Wear" and "Sea Turtles & Plastic" programs are also critically important. Their regular e-newsletters, active social media, and occasional zoom presentations are fantastic ways to keep all donors engaged and informed. Many thanks to everyone involved for what you do.

See Turtles are completely dedicated and passionate about what they do. I have confidence that when I donate they put my donation to great use and it really does make a difference, they are an organisation I have followed for a few years now and I will support them for the rest of my life. Receiving updates and learning is a bonus too as I subscribe to the newsletter.

I have followed the work of SEETurtles for years. I’ve also supported them and gone on a trip to Nicaragua, volunteering with two of their partner organizations working there. It was the trip of a lifetime! I highly recommend this organization and the critical work they do to save endangered sea turtles and the environment.

I was delighted when I got the chance to work with the SEE Turtles team on a regional project combating illegal wildlife trade in Asia, promoting their amazing app, which uses machine learning to identify illegal tortoiseshell products. The expertise of the team is incredible, since next to popular sea turtle trips and well thought out conservation programs they also publish internationally renowned reports on the issue of tortoiseshell trade, such as the 2020 Global Tortoiseshell Trade report. Looking forward to working together, again, in future endeavors!

We connected with and joined SEE Turtles many years ago while searching for which organization our turtle-loving daughter wanted to support with her birthday gift funds. Though we are Canadian, we were so impressed by all the great initiatives, learning opportunities and extensive work SEE Turtles had done in many places of the world, and decided to join as monthly donors. SEE Turtles President Brad, has been supportive and communicative in helping us learn and connect with other organizations to continue learning and experiencing. We are so grateful for Brad and all his efforts!

I connected with SEE Turtles because of a shared interest in tourism issues and grassroots field projects involving turtles. It was very quickly obvious that they have a great level of both expertise and passion for these topics. The field projects that they work with are excellent operations and all speak very highly of SEE Turtles and are hugely appreciative of their support. Their campaign work is imaginative and carefully targeted, and the SEE Shell app in particular is a valuable tool and a fantastic achievement. Their streamlined and targeted approach is really the kind of thing we need much more of.

I've donated to See Turtles regularly because I appreciate their mission and some vital work they do drawing attention to endangered and threatened sea turtle species. Their education work has been impressive. I really appreciated their See Shell App to help people spot hawksbill sea turtle shells for sale and to differentiate between fake "tortoiseshell" items.

We had a wonderful experience with them back in 2013. They put together an excellent volunteer program! You can tell their conservation is lead with passion and care. 100% would volunteer with them again!

I have done several trips with seeturtles.org and have been super happy with them. All the details are figured out for you and you can enjoy the turtles and the wonderful people you meet, both travelers and locals. Their conservation and education efforts are top notch allowing their supported projects the ability to thrive.

SEE Turtles initiative has been supporting grassroots projects on marine turtle conservation for years, empowering coastal communities for ocean conservation.

I have known SEETurtles since their inception. My niece and I had a fabulous experience with them in Nicaragua. Their leaders are passionate and committed to making the world a better place.

I've watched SEE Turtles grow over the years from a small voluntourism-focused organization to one of the leading sea turtle conservation organizations in the world. The hard work, focus, dedication, and love for marine turtles is apparent in every innovative and well-executed initiative. I can't wait to see what's next!

SEE Turtles was a great way for a college student from Kansas, like me, to receive hands on experience in the marine conservation field. They take great measures to make every trip grand and the amount of good they do all over in volunteerism, donations, and education, you just can't beat. I am a repeat traveler with this nonprofit and look forward to more trips to come!

See Turtle's innovative approach to conservation, and tenacious commitment to partners across the turtle world is inspiring!

What a great way to support sea turtle conservation and local community development through ecotourism! A unique and forward-looking way to travel.

I've been following See Turtles progress for years and am continually impressed by their ability to stay true to their mission of sea turtle conservation and empowering local communities.
