Campaign Story

Challenge

The growing tourism industry has put a strain on most habitats, especially in the more beautiful areas. Thailand is no exception with their very sensitive turtle population becoming increasingly threatened. Fortunately, with tourists forced to stay home during the pandemic, we can see a huge increase in populations, however, with borders opening again, it is going to have a huge effect on these creatures as they are nesting on deserted beaches. We need to provide a safe space for them.

 

Solution

This project aims to protect the critical population of the turtles in Thailand by providing a safe area for turtles to lay their eggs so that they continue to populate even when the tourists arrive back to the beaches. Our goal is to promote sustainable tourism as we aware that the islands heavily rely on this for an income, however, it needs to be in a way that doesn’t affect local species. We will create awareness, monitor turtles and create protected areas that can be overseen by the locals
