Save Our Leatherbacks Operation “SOLO”

The Leatherback Turtle extinction is the most severe environmental threat within the oceans because of the damaging ripple effect to all existing sea life. The location of S.O.L.O.’s conservation activities is in far East Indonesia on a very remote large Leatherback nesting beach. These Villagers must be the ultimate environmental stewards of the future of this magnificent turtle. We employ and train local aboriginal villagers because they are suited to tolerate the extreme conditions on and near the beach. If any program of conservation can succeed, the locals MUST “buy in” to the project and accept is as their own in any location.
