Turtle Conservation 8.jpg

Learn about sea turtles and help their conservation at a turtle center in Bali. This program aims to increase the chances of survival for this ancient species. Bali's coastline is a nesting habitat for sea turtles. From April to October, female turtles return to the same location where they hatched decades ago to lay their eggs. The most common species found nesting in Bali are the olive ridley and green turtles, with occasional sightings of hawksbill turtles. However, sea turtles face threats from feral animals, human predation on eggs, fishing accidents, beach development, and misleading artificial lights. The sea turtle conservation community in Bali actively engages in egg rescue, beach cleaning, providing hatching facilities, and caring for injured turtles. These efforts aim to preserve the existence of these ancient marine reptiles. Most turtle centers in Bali operate on donations and volunteer support. By participating in our Bali Sea Turtle Experience, you can support local conservation efforts and gain hands-on experience working with sea turtles. What to Expect<ul><li>Arrive at the conservation facility and receive an introduction</li><li>Attend a presentation on sea turtles and the threats they face</li><li>Engage in volunteer work such as beach cleaning, tank scrubbing, or egg incubation</li><li>Participate in a baby turtle release (during the nesting season only)</li><li>Receive a certificate of volunteer support</li><li>The experience will take 1.5-2 hours depending on how long the clean-up will take, so do set aside that amount of time. </li></ul> Important Notes<ul><li>Please Note this experience is available May - early October.</li><li>The nesting season in Bali starts around March through September each year and they choose to lay eggs at night after 11.00pm until dawn. The months of June, July, and August are considered the peak nesting season when people at the shelter need to stay awake almost all night to ensure they are safe from dogs.</li><li>We highly recommend that you bring your own water in a reusable container to avoid using water in plastic bottles! You will definitely get thirsty as this activity includes hands on experiences outdoors!!</li></ul>

They are a joy to see, and their presence is a sign of a healthy ecosystem. However, fireflies are declining in many parts of the world, including Bali.</li><li>There are many reasons why fireflies are disappearing. One reason is habitat loss. Fireflies need clean air, non-contaminated water, and fertile soil to survive. When their habitats are destroyed, they cannot live there anymore.</li><li>Another reason for firefly decline is light pollution. Fireflies use light to communicate with each other, and when there is too much artificial light, they cannot see each other. This can lead to problems with mating and reproduction.</li><li>Finally, fireflies are also being harmed by pesticides. Pesticides can kill fireflies directly, or they can make it difficult for them to find food.</li><li>The decline of fireflies is a serious problem. Fireflies are important pollinators, and they help to control insect pests. They also play a role in the food chain. Without fireflies, our ecosystems would be less healthy.</li></ul> By joining this activity, you'll not only experience the magic of these creatures but also support their conservation in the village. Your participation directly contributes to their protection and a sustainable environment.

Fireflies Safari with conservationist

Fire fly is a natural creatures which only active at night and full full of magic and wonder. Every country has different believes regarding this tiny bugs. And Balinese believe that this heavenly creature can lead the human spirits to heaven afterlife. It is known there over 2,000 species of the fireflies. They are recognised to be a bio indicator of clean air, non contaminated water and healthy soil.

Rumah Konservasi Kunang-kunang is a community based initiative to save the fireflies by doing in-depth research about fireflies through rearing, breeding, observation and experiment to increase their population for rewilding. We are also developing a pesticide free zone to protects its population in nature, by collaborating with the local farmers.

Why Fireflies Conservation Is
So Important?
Isn’t  sad to imagine, if the fireflies extinct, our future generation can only see their pictures, videos and animation movie?

The over development in Bali nowadays have caused the pressures to the fireflies population. The change of natural landscaping have created habitat loss, light polution and chemical contamination.

Many scientist agreed, that the presence of the fireflies actually mark the area as an indicator of clean air, non contaminated water and fertile soil. It is also an environmental indicator for biodiversity.
