Descripción:
For the last 15 years, the Sea Turtle population has been under threat from fishing and egg predication by locals. Three species of the protected Sea Turtles are nesting on India s West Coast and all of them are endangered species. With an effort to protect these endangered species, FSL-India is working along a 60 kilometre stretch of the beach in the south and north of Kundapur, Karnataka state. The work is focused on sea turtle protection and conservation, by promoting awareness about the eco-system and addressing related environmental issues. The work involves surveys, data gathering and analysis, awareness generation among the local community and within schools, harbors and fishing communities. You will also be required to build hatcheries and temporary information centers, as well as design and create promotional material.

What is needed to be an LTV We welcome anybody who is interested to participate in our voluntary programs regardless of age, sex, religious belief, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Most of our programmes do not require any specific skills. But as the work is humanitarian in nature, we encourage volunteers to be: O Open Minded: It is essential to be open to new ideas, situations, morals, values and ways of doing things. Things may be different from what you are used to or your existing expectations. If you remain open minded then you will be flooded with new opportunities. Broadening the mind is at the heart of inter-cultural exchange. O Flexible: Remaining flexible to ideas, people, situations and encounters is important. While working at social projects, you will be dealing with people i and people are unpredictable. Taking a flexible approach is often the best way to deal with such situations. O Creative: Taking a creative approach to your volunteer placement and work maintains motivation and, prevents routine and boredom for yourself and the project. When you start to think creatively it is amazing what can be achieved.
