Ahungalla Sea Turtles Conservation Project

About Ahungalla Sea Turtles Conservation Project

Situated along the South Coast near Bentota, the Ahungalla Sea Turtles Conservation Project is a wildlife conservation initiative focused on protecting sea turtles that nest along this stretch of coastline. Visitors can learn about the lifecycle of these marine reptiles, the threats they face, and the ongoing efforts to safeguard their nesting sites. Guided explanations typically cover the work carried out by staff and volunteers, including nest monitoring and hatchling care. Depending on the time of visit and season, there may be opportunities to observe hatchlings or adult turtles at close quarters. The project offers a more educational experience than a conventional tourist attraction, making it particularly worthwhile for those with an interest in marine conservation and responsible wildlife tourism.
