    Om programmet

    Six species of sea turtles are classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN Red List as threatened or endangered. Specifically, the green sea turtle is classified as endangered. Our volunteer program in Ao Nang, Thailand, in partnership with local conservation organisations, focuses on protecting these endangered sea turtles and dugongs. Tasks include habitat monitoring, conducting scientific research and participating in community-based conservation projects.

    Participants engage in activities such as snorkel surveys, drone-assisted habitat mapping, and coral restoration during low tide. Optional scuba-diving courses are also available for those interested in further exploration underwater.

    Located in the town of Ban Chong Pli, within the picturesque Krabi Province, our research station offers easy access to the vibrant town of Ao Nang, just a short 15-minute drive away.  

    Krabi Province, located on Thailand’s southwest coast, offers a wealth of natural beauty with its stunning beaches, limestone cliffs and lush forests. You can enjoy activities like rock climbing and kayaking, or go for a hike in nearby national parks such as Khao Phanom Bencha and Than Bok Khorani to spot wildlife and take in the scenery. Immerse yourself in the local culture with visits to temples, shopping and nightlife.
