Guide 1

What Sea Turtle Sponsorship Through WARN Means

This is a donation connected with the sea-turtle appeal. It does not assign a tagged turtle, name a hatchling, purchase a nest or guarantee a release. The sea-turtle photograph illustrates the subject and is not evidence of a rescue paid for by WARN.

Sea turtles differ by species, population and location. A global conservation category is not a measure of the safety of every nesting beach. The related appeal explains these distinctions and points to dated assessments, including changes in green-turtle status.

Sea Turtle

Sea turtles are a group of seven species of large, long-lived marine reptiles whose conservation status ranges from Least Concern to Critically Endangered, with most species threatened by fishing bycatch, egg poaching, plastic pollution and coastal development.

Country programme

Indonesia

Indonesia’s forests, islands and coasts support remarkable wildlife, including all three orangutan species. Animal welfare and conservation needs differ between Kalimantan, Sumatra and the wider archipelago.

Country programme

Malaysia

Animal welfare in Malaysia spans Peninsular forests, Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo, and marine habitats. Place and species matter when assessing a conservation need or deciding who can help.

Country programme

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s forests, wetlands and surrounding seas support wildlife alongside densely used human landscapes. Coexistence, habitat protection and suitable care all matter to animal welfare.
