Proyek Penyu

Proyek Penyu is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
protection and conservation of the sea turtles in Gili
Trawangan. Through community outreach programs,
educational initiatives, and hands-on conservation projects,
we work to safeguard these majestic creatures from threats
such as poaching, pollution, and habitat destruction.
Above all, we strive to raise awareness and implement
sustainable conservation efforts to ensure the survival of
these endangered species for future generations.

Visitors to the Gili Islands have the rare opportunity to witness encounters with
endangered Green and critically endangered Hawksbill turtles year-round.
However, the islands' growing popularity, coupled with a lack of education among
beachfront businesses, has led to a concerning trend. Reduced nesting opportunities
may ultimately lead to a decline in the turtle population on the islands in the future.
Irresponsible coastal development and pollution from tourism activities also pose
significant threats to the turtles' nesting habits and could potentially endanger the
long-term sustainability of the tourism industry on the Gili islands.
