WHO WE ARE
Our Story
Kapas Turtles is a small community-based project focusing on turtle conservation in Pulau Kapas. This group, of very enthusiastic volunteers from different backgrounds, was formed in 2021 to assist Pok Roni, who have been helping in saving sea turtles for the past 20 years. We, the team of KT, have taken this mission on as an act of personal, social and ecological responsibility to carry out a program to assist the survival of this endangered species.
Our Vision & Mission
Our vision is a future where sea turtles and local communities can thrive in the same environment. Our mission is to contribute to sea turtle conservation, by protecting sea turtles and their habitat around Kapas Island.
We want to prevent sea turtles from being exterminated, their nesting beaches from being polluted, and their marine habitats from being contaminated and destroyed by plastic waste and other pollution.
Human resource is essential for the project. Keeping an active group of interns and volunteers to patrol the beaches and help develop the program, is one of the challenges faced by the conservation project.
