| The primary goal of this Foundation is the help reverse the rapid decline of the Leatherback sea turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, populations toward extinction, which is occurring at an alarmingly fast rate. Our goal to help achieve a significant reversal of population decline in the largest leatherback turtle nesting beaches in the Pacific, Irian Jaya, Indonesia, to increase the number of hatchlings. This will help them survive beach threats and return to the nesting areas in greater numbers as they mature to lay more eggs. |
