During their travels, Mathias and Tobias experienced beautiful natural places that were affected by human behaviour, to a larger or lesser extent. They have also visited beaches where baby sea turtles are born. Unfortunately, efforts are necessary for these sea turtles to survive greed and pollution. For their 9th birthday, instead of receiving your beautiful presents, Mathias and Tobias (and we) would like to ask you kindly to consider joining us in supporting a trustworthy organization that delivers these efforts. This is an organization led by a Czech marine biologist helping sea turtles in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. This fundraiser is organized through a platform that we trust and have done several fundraisers in the past.

If this fundraiser rings a bell, it is because you have a good memory (kudos!) and because Mathias and Tobias did the same for their 7th birthday, and we were well informed of the use of the funds. So the boys have decided to fundraise for the same due to their requirement for impact and accountability.

Thank you!

We protect sea turtles, beautiful creatures that have lived on Earth for more than 110 million years. Today, they are threatened with extinction. Their population has declined by more than 90% in some places over the last 70 years. Locals steal turtle eggs from beaches and sell them to tourist restaurants, ripping their shells off alive to make souvenirs. With the local organisation Sehabat penyu Loang, we protect several beaches on Lembata Island in Indonesia. These beaches are a major breeding ground for the critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle, as well as the Olive ridley sea turtle and the green sea turtle. In 2022, a project to improve sea turtle conservation also began in Sri Lanka. We lead and fund the conservation work. We guard the beaches from poachers, transfer the eggs to a protected part of the beach, release the turtles into the sea as soon as they hatch, and teach locals to make souvenirs from alternative materials such as coconut. We teach children about turtles, about nature and also English. The educational materials we have created are used worldwide. As consultants, we also help in other parts of the world. In the Czech Republic, we are trying to raise public awareness about the situation of sea turtles, the causes of the threats to these rare reptiles and the ways we can help them.
