Turtle Expeditions

Turtle Expeditions

Many species of turtle are endangered. Their ocean habitat – one of Earthwatch’s Research Areas – is also threatened by human activity. From tiny terrapins to the giant Leatherback turtle you can be actively involved in vital, hands-on conservation efforts in beautiful locations. Indeed, without the efforts of Earthwatch volunteers scientist Frank Paladino believes that the Leatherback turtle would already be extinct in the pacific.
