Sea Turle Conservation 2026 - Palinuro
Associazione Costiera Amalfitana Riserva Biosfera
Palinuro, Itālija
Apraksts
We are looking for 5 participants! You’ll work with international teams to protect sea turtle nests, support hatchlings, and engage local communities in marine conservation. Daily activities include early morning beach patrols (walking along the beach to check for turtle tracks about 3-8 km), organization and participation in small awareness-raising events, 24-hour nest vigilance during hatchings, public awareness campaigns, and environmental surveys to assess human impact. Organized by ACARBIO and part of the CarettainVista network, coordinated by the Anton Dohrn Zoological Station (LIFE TURTLENEST), this is a hands-on conservation project offering field experience, emotional challenges, and lasting memories. Come live the wild rhythm of nature, side-by-side with passionate biologists and volunteers from across Europe.
