Group Profile

Nature Seekers

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.
