But on Kenya's South coast unmanned beach sections, this journey is a risk at the onset. In the areas of Msambweni, Funzi Island and Vanga-Jimbo seascapes, sea turtle nests are threatened by both anthropogenic and natural factors such as: poaching, predation, plastic waste accumulation on natal beaches, egg collection, ancestral myths surrounding turtle meat consumption, ghost gear, sea level rise, beach erosion, coastal development plastic waste, abandoned fishing nets, flooding, and limited awareness sensitization among the locals.
 

Together with our local partner NATRO, we have been conducting massive cleanups and collaboration patrols to help protect the beaches nesting grounds and turtle populations. This is a concrete project covering approximately 15.6 km of Kenya's South coast coastline, a place we personally visited and verified as Bonvolo z.ú. on 28 April 2026. 

 
We know where the help will go, who will carry it out, and what results we will ask for and share with donors.
 
Our goal is to raise CZK 203,000 for 12 months of active sea turtle protection project.
 
 

 
77 field patrols to monitor nesting beaches and reduce poaching,
protection of approximately 70–90 sea turtle nests,
transport between Msambweni, Funzi Island and Vanga-Jimbo,
basic nest relocation equipment and  markers, training and capacity building 15 more turtle monitors,
education outreach in 12 schools for around 360 children,
6 community awareness sensitization workshops, and 3 stakeholder engagement sessions.

This is not only about saving nests today. It is about helping local communities see sea turtle protection as a stewardship in their daily lives.

Donors will receive more than promises. We will publish photos, short videos, monthly updates, an overview of key expenses and a final factual and financial report.

Every timely patrol can prevent a nest from being destroyed. Every protected nest gives hatchlings a better chance to reach the ocean.
