Challenge

North Island in Seychelles is a sanctuary for Critically Endangered Hawksbill and Endangered Green Turtles, but their survival is under threat. Invasive species, marine debris, and climate impacts damage nesting beaches and coastal habitats. Without urgent protection and restoration, future generations of these iconic species could be lost from this unique island.

Solution

Wildlife ACT works with North Island's Environmental Team to protect turtle nests, monitor nesting activity, restore native vegetation, and remove invasive species. By maintaining safe, healthy beaches and coastal habitats, and reducing threats, we improve nesting success and safeguard the long-term survival of Hawksbill and Green Turtles on the island.

Long-Term Impact

By protecting turtle nests, restoring native habitats, and removing invasive species, this project will help secure North Island as a lasting refuge for Hawksbill and Green Turtles. Healthy coastal and marine ecosystems will support wider biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience, and ensure future generations can witness these endangered species thrive in the wild.
