About the project

What is the project about?

We are an organization that deals with the breeding of critically endangered turtle species. At three different locations in the city of Graz we maintain a total of more than 1500 animals, 190 different species of freshwater turtles and tortoises. One of our greatest breeding successes is e.g. the Northern River Terrapin Batagur baska, which we were able to raise from just 7 worldwide known specimens to more than 500.

Beside our focus on the conservation breeding of highly endangered species, we are a shelter for confiscated, abandoned or unwanted turtles as well! Since our stock is therefore constantly growing, we recently had to enlarge our greenhouse from 250 m² to 500 m². The purchase of new enclosures and aquariums resulted in very high additional costs of approx. 7500 euros, which unfortunately went beyond the scope of our budget. We ask for your help so that we can continue our conservation effort in maintaining, breeding and repatriating our animals.

For more information please visit us on our website (www.turtle-island.at) and please call us if you have any questions!

What happens with the money if financing was successful

The entire 7,500 euros are needed for the purchase of vivariums, filters, heat lamps, ventilators and small items.

The goal of our organization is to preserve all 360 known turtle species, especially those which are unfortunately on the brink of extinction. Our Critically Endangered species we dedicate our greatest dedication. Since there are already 190 species in our locations in Graz, some of which we have already achieved good breeding successes with, we are on the best way to achieve this in the next few years!
