Turtle Conservation Project

Turtle Conservation Project

What to do

Kurma Asih is a community-led sea-turtle conservation group at Perancak Beach, active since 1997.

Kurma Asih works with the Perancak community to protect turtle nests, care for hatchlings and support releases back to the sea. The organisation records Olive Ridley, hawksbill and green turtles in its local conservation work.

Visits and releases depend on the nesting cycle and the needs of the animals, so contact the team rather than expecting a release on a fixed timetable. Responsible visits should follow staff instructions, avoid handling wildlife without permission and never use flash around turtles.
