Core of our activity is sea turtle preservation program, focused on turtle research station and hatchery. 

Rare dugons (sea cows) visit the sanctuary from time to time.  The island is surrounded by a reef which

has to be mapped, examined and repaired where necessary.

Our organization chose an all-encompassing approach to conservation:

Beside collecting eggs and operating the hatchery, Palawan Marine Life Foundation patrols the no-fishing

zone around the island and provides job training to villagers.  In the near future former poachers could

become park rangers or work as tourist guides bringing tourists to snorkel in the coral reef.  Their wives

will work in tourist industry.

The foundation is introducing a diet-enrichment program where all needy families will receive young fruit

trees to plant, vegetable seeds to sow and milking goats  for the poorest families.  A volunteer medical

doctor will live in the central village and offer free medical care for all children on a regular basis.
