Turtle conservation project, Rekawa, Tangalle

DIVISARANA - Annual Field Trip - 2011



Rekawa is one of the well known turtle conservation project in the World. Five species of marine turtles visit the shores to lay and nest their eggs and the Rekawa village has managed to turn what was once a mass poaching of eggs into a profitable turtle watching programme.

Rekawa is a very picturesque village on the south coast of Sri Lanka. The nearby beach is one of Sri Lanka's most important green turtle rookeries. Olive ridley and leatherback turtles also nest there, as well as the occasional hawksbill and loggerhead turtle
