The island of Nusa Penida, a beautiful, quiet, white sandy island, is a particularly rich place with many different maritime species and numerous types of birds. Many divers head visit the island to submerge in one of the many dive spots, or to spot a turtle swimming by. The turtle conservation project takes place in this natural haven to help, protect and sustain the local sea turtle population.

Hunting sea turtles is illegal in Bali. However, corruption and unethical tourism trades attract poachers. Out of 1000 baby turtles, 999 will be killed and never make it back to the beach where they were born. Their meat will be sold to hotels and resold at exorbitant prices to unaware tourists, their shells and skins turned into souvenirs. Hundreds will be killed by propellers, caught in nets, trapped in human waste like plastic bags and bottles floating on our seas.
