Turtle conservation in greece

Turtle conservation in Greece focuses highly on the endangered turtle, the loggerhead turtle. This turtle species is located primarily around the Mediterranean. While the conservation project can be found around the Bay of Lakonikos (or the southern portion of mainland Greece); of which focuses on the loggerhead sea turtle rescue efforts.
Unfortunately, much like any other conservation effort; the Greece turtle conservation effort suffers from a loss of funds; making it of the utmost importance for all of us to donate our funds and time to this wonderful cause.
What kind of difference would this project make in the conservation of turtles in Greece? Plenty! They not only help to save injured turtles; they also assemble volunteer efforts to help newly hatched turtles to the oceans. Saving them from the mass of predation that faces all infant sea turtles.
