Why Your Support Matters
The leatherback sea turtle has survived for over 100 million years, but today, it's disappearing fast. Threatened by fisheries bycatch, plastic pollution, climate change, and habitat loss, leatherbacks need our help now more than ever.
We believe real conservation starts with community, data, and justice. When you donate, you’re supporting:
Your Support Makes It All Possible.
Protect Marine Life. Empower Communities. Redefine Conservation.
Saving our ocean’s most ancient mariners takes more than good intentions. It takes local leadership, cutting-edge science, and the power of storytelling to ignite global change.
Your donation empowers coastal communities to lead conservation efforts, funds groundbreaking research that drives real-world solutions, and amplifies stories that shift mindsets and inspire action worldwide. Together, we’re reshaping how the world understands and values Nature as a living, legal entity.
When you give, you’re fueling a smarter, more just, and more effective way to protect our ocean; one that is built on collaboration, evidence, and deep respect for the communities who depend on these waters.
Donate today to turn knowledge into action, stories into momentum, and communities into catalysts for lasting change.
The Leatherback Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the leatherback sea turtle and other threatened and endangered marine species through research, education, and advocacy initiatives primarily aimed at mitigating fisheries bycatch and designating and implementing marine protected areas.
