Sea Turtle Conservationist, Kefalonia

Wildlife Sense Kefalonia is a research-based sea turtle and wildlife conservation project on the island of Kefalonia, Greece. Most of our work is focused on sea turtle conservation, both through protecting new nests on some of the island's beautiful beaches, and by monitoring and protecting the adult turtle population.

Volunteer tasks range from morning patrols to locate and protect new nests, turtle identification patrols in areas where sea turtles swim.

We emphasize learning throughout the project, so that volunteers acquire practical experience on a wide range of wildlife research and conservation practices, including their legal and social aspects, which are often the most controversial aspects of conservation.
