Thank you to our donors

Behind our actions and our equipment, there are donors. Here are a few of the gifts that changed our day-to-day.

Our boat at Tetiaroa

Generously donated by Anne Carlier and Dirk Spillebeen (IFBD), it lets our field teams reach the motu and monitor nesting throughout the season on the Tetiaroa atoll.

A satellite tag

Satellite tags donated by Daniel Evans and Roldan Valverde (Sea Turtle Conservancy), fitted to sea turtles in Moorea to track their movements and better understand their behaviour.

Haki’s treatment

X-ray and treatment for Haki the sea turtle, currently being rehabilitated at our centre, made possible by the public through a dedicated fundraising campaign.

Take action

Every gesture counts. Help us give sea turtles a second chance.
