Group Profile

ecOceanica & Grupo de Tortugas Marinas - Peru (GTM-Peru)

GTM-Peru is a Peruvian-based research group created in 2000 with the ultimate goal to recuperate and conserve the species of sea turtles in Peru and subsequently in the East Pacific Region. Our work is mainly research-based and focused in understanding relevant aspects of the biology and ecology of sea turtles as well as investigate and monitor impacts of human activities on sea turtle populations.

To reach our conservation goals we conduct research using a
multidisciplinary approach that includes the use of tools from population genetics, GIS, remote sensing among others. We also conduct public awareness activities along the Peruvian coast.

GTM-Peru is part of the Peruvian NGO ecOceanica.

Description:

Nature Seekers is a community-based organization founded in 1990 with the aim of protecting nesting leatherback turtles in Trinidad and Tobago. The ultimate goal of the group was to reduce the problem of poaching which stood at 30 percent on a nightly basis. Through the efforts of tour guide services to visitors on Matura Beach, tagging of turtles, and patrolling, the group has been able to reduce the percentage of poaching from 30 to 0%. Today the group has expanded to include reforestation, waste recycling and natural jewelry with its core still being turtle conservation.
