Sea turtles in Sri Lanka: Ambre's second mission

1 year after her commitment in Namibia, Ambre travelled to Sri Lanka to help protect sea turtles.

What this experience brought me…

This experience opened my eyes to the impact human beings have on the biodiversity and the environment. While working on the protection of the sea turtles in Sri Lanka, I realized to what extent climate change affects these fragile species. Every night spent patrolling the beaches and protecting the nests reminded me of the urgency to act and to preserve our planet.

What missions were assigned on-site?

On site, my missions were varied and they adapted to the changing needs of sea turtle conservation. Some days, I cleaned the beaches to ensure safe habitats, while on other days, I prepared food and fed the turtles to boost their growth. I also dedicated time to cleaning the tanks and the turtles to ensure their health.

Do I recommend this mission?

I highly recommend this project because of the varied and enriching missions it offers. The natural scenery was simply breathtaking, offering a unique experience to the volunteers. In addition, local residents are extremely kind, which makes the experience even more memorable and enjoyable.

… and Freepackers?

Yes absolutely. The team is not only attentive, but they also offer projects with NGOs that are reliable and that advocate for beautiful values. Their professionalism and their commitment contributed to making this adventure an unforgettable and meaningful experience.
