SEA TURTLE WEBSITE

seaturtlesofindia

This is an online resource that contains basic information about sea turtles of the Indian subcontinent including distribution (by state), status, bibliographies, a directory of organisations working on sea turtles, research, and other resources such as newsletters, manuals, maps and other publications.

The website will also serve as a portal for TAG (Turtle Action Group), the network for the conservation and monitoring of sea turtles in India.

During 2009-2010, information on the 30th Annual Symposium on Sea Turtle Biology and Conservation, to be held in Goa in April 2010, will be posted on this website.

The new challenge to conservationists is to conserve biodiversity without compromising local livelihoods or the principles of environmental justice. For this to become a reality, we need to join hands across disciplines to address all aspects of environment and development.

Dakshin Foundation aims to adopt interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches involving ecology, conservation biology, policy, legal and sociological aspects into its research and conservation interventions.

Dakshin Foundation intends to locate its work, philosophies and approaches at different crossroads of India’s environment and development paths. We do this bearing in mind our political, geographical and social affiliation to the global south. Although nationwide in scope, our primary geographical focus will be on coastal and marine systems and mountain ecosystems of India.
