This Christmas, go beyond the ordinary and give a gift that truly makes a difference – adopt a sea turtle! Whether it's for the wildlife lover in your life, or someone who cares about the planet, an adoption from ARCHELON is a present that keeps on giving. Your symbolic adoption translates to real action on the nesting beaches, where we protect nests and hatchlings and at the Rescue Centre.

Τhis holiday season choose from different adoption options the one that will make your gift even more meaningful:

• Mother Turtle: Adopt a mother turtle as she returns to the beaches to nest. Your adoption helps protect nesting sites and supports efforts to track and monitor these magnificent creatures.
• Hatchling: Adopt a hatchling and give a baby sea turtle a chance to live. Your support helps ensure that vulnerable nests are protected and these tiny adventurers have the best possible start to their long journeys.
• Nest: Adopt an entire nest with sea turtle eggs! With this option, you help protect around 100 hatchlings as they emerge and make their way to the sea, fighting the odds to survive.
• Injured Turtle: Adopt an injured turtle and help fund the rehabilitation of rescued sea turtles in need of medical care. Many turtles are found injured by fishing gear or having ingested plastic waste, and with your support we provide them with food and medicine at the Rescue Center.

Why adopt a sea turtle this holiday season?

• Support marine conservation: Your adoption helps us protect and study these vulnerable species, their nesting sites and their habitats.
