Saving the turtles

Protecting the tortoise

Migrating around the world with their home on their back, the turtle symbolises resilience, wisdom and living in balance with the environment. These majestic creatures inspire Pacsafe's mission to help people explore the world safely and respectfully, represented in our logo from the very beginning. The Pacsafe Turtle Fund was launched in 2014, providing annual grants for sea turtle conservation projects.

Impact on the ecosystem

We are currently working with the EcosystemImpact Foundation. Their mission is to protect the last wild and remote islands off the northwest coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. Starting with Bangkaru Island, which is home to some of the world's rarest turtle and bird species. EcosystemImpact has a team of rangers who patrol this island paradise. Without these rangers, the bird species that call Bangkaru home could become extinct. Many of the turtles that lay eggs on the island 365 nights a year - with around 200,000 hatchlings - could be destroyed by poachers.

Alnitak Research Institute

In 2023, Pacsafe Turtle Fund is supporting the Alnitak Research Institute in Spain. Our donation from the Pacsafe Turtle Fund to Alnitak will help support their Oasis project, an initiative to reduce the risk that deadly ghost gear poses to marine wildlife, sustainable fisheries and safety at sea.

Partners supported by Pacsafe Turtle Fund

Since the creation of the Pacsafe Turtle Fund in 2014, we have worked with organisations around the world to protect sea turtles.

Cleaning

Be the change you want to see in the world. As well as supporting the conservation of sea turtles around the world, we also run local beach clean-ups to raise awareness of the impact that single-use plastic can have.
