What Moves Us
We enable people to build a deeper connection with nature
by traveling to beautiful and interesting places to help save wildlife.
It was the Loggerhead sea turtle - Caretta caretta is the scientific name -
that inspired our founder, Andy Brown, to create this nonprofit organization.
What Makes Us Special
We are a welcoming team of volunteers who share a passion for nature
and travel the world through membership-based travel opportunities to help wild animals.
Helping Wildlife
We rescue cold stunned turtles,
protect turtle nests from predators,
guide hatchlings to the sea, track turtles with transmitters, collect data on nesting turtles, provide supplies for owl banding projects, and preserve boreal forest.
Who We Help
Our volunteer efforts and donations
assist grassroots conservation
organizations, established NGOs,
federal and local wildlife agencies, and collaborate with university researchers.

Testimonials
“We explored places from Rain Forests
to Oceans.
The guides were exceptional and knowledgeable, plus the food was always delicious and prepared locally.
We look forward to more adventures.”​

“My first trip was to St. Croix, USVI to observe leatherback sea turtles. That was an eye opener!!! We worked with scientists to collect data.
In Belize, we also learned about the jaguars in the jungle, the Belizean culture and geography.
If you are interested in learning about nature and helping scientists by volunteering your time, then this is
the perfect group for you!!!”
Judy Mansfield
"I think over again my small adventures,
For all the things I had to reach,
And yet, there is only one great thing;
To live to see the day that dawns,
and the light that fills the world"
