  • Omschrijving ARCHELON can offer “hands on” tasks in the protection of sea turtles and rehabilitation of injured sea turtles. In our summer field projects the volunteers monitor the most important nesting beaches in Greece (Zakynthos, Peloponnese, Crete). Every year over 2,500 nests are protected against human threats, predation and sea inundation and 300 turtles are tagged. They also participate in our Public Awareness programme informing around 200.00 tourists every year. Also, the goal of ARCHELON is the treatment of injured sea turtles and then their release. It is the only Sea Turtle Rescue Center in Greece. Many sea turtles are usually caught in fishing gear or injured by speedboats and fishermen. As a consequence, ARCHELON established in 1994 its Sea Turtle Rescue Centre in Athens in 5 old train wagons. These facilities have expanded to include two containers and several outdoor tanks for the sea turtles. Duties are described briefly below:- collection and transport of injured turtles - preparation and administration of food, operation of the sea water supply systems - carrying and cleaning the animals - cleaning the facilities and equipment - public Awareness activities include the running of exhibition area and providing information to visitors - basic maintenance activities as well as cleaning of surroundings and living quarters.
  • Informatie Student For the last 35 years, ARCHELON has been to protect the sea turtles and their habitats in Greece. ARCHELON can offer practical and hands on tasks with sea turtles protection. This is not a training of formal learning but it offers practical knowledge in everyday duties. Students need to be over 18 years old and have a good level of English. The minimum participation period is 4 weeks. We ask students who are committed to environmental protection and especially about sea turtles. They should be prepared to face difficult and harsh tasks but also a rewarding experience. The internships have the chance to conduct monitoring work as part of a team, through morning and night patrols, identify nest locations, find unmarked nests, place nest shades and maintain the monitoring equipment. Through the Public Awareness programme, the student will have the opportunity to interact with tourists. It involves slide show presentations, Information provided during fieldwork. During the project the student will be related with people from different cultures and will be able to communicate with them. The student will be able to discuss the matters concerned with the field leaders and the coordinator of the project in everyday basis. 6 to 8 hours per day depending on the needs of the project Tasks include: - Nest management and habitat protection - Public awareness- Maintenance duties. ARCHELON hosts around 500 volunteers per year. They live in an international environment in our Research Field Stations along with other volunteers from all over the world and they share all the facilities, using a communal system for all the duties and food. The campsites give the opportunity to live close to the nature and promote the team spirit. De erkenning die voor manager Natuur en Recreatie, ondernemer Recreatiedieren en Bos en Natuurbeheer is geregistreerd, is alleen functioneel voor een specifiek deel van de beroepspraktijkvorming voor de opleiding Eco & Wildlife.
