LATEST NEWS

Turtle Sanctuary has been a member of IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) since 2021 and joined the French Committee of IUCN in 2022. It has a leading position to work in the biodiversity conservation sector by working closely with other French NGOs operating specifically in developing countries. The Developing Countries & Biodiversity Working Group aims to promote the French expertise of Civil Society Organizations (OSC) to technical and financial partners. (see: OSC directory)

Turtle Sanctuary is proud to announce you our 2021 partnership, with international institutions including non-government organizations, zoological institutions as well as turtle interest groups, to the Turtle Conservation Fund (TCF).

Through such coalition, Turtle Sanctuary hopes to contribute even more efficiently to successful turtle conservation actions, with focus on Critically Endangered Southeast Asian species.

We thus join Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA), Turtle Conservancy (TC), Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC)among others.

Pr. Luca Luiselli represents us into TCF Review Board Members.
