Help us make this dream come true!!

Help us make this dream come true!!

We need a lot of good positive energy in the coming time! We have made a number of applications for funds to help us make the turtle reserve a reality. 

The turtle reserve will become a park with turtles that live there in different cottages. They have the freedom to go and stand wherever they want. In the cottages it is nice and warm and they can sufficiently warm up. Outside they can go on an adventure in a fenced area for their kind. They can live as free turtles once trapped in a small, often glass dwelling. 

We hope that everyone will allow these turtles to experience this. Imagine what animals have to go through when they can taste and feel the real sun, the rain and the many grasses and herbs for the first time… And of course, the animals are lovingly cared for and fed every day. 

The only thing that stands in the way of this future is of course money again, so it is a lot of money, certainly 2 million to solve this once and for all! This is a huge amount of money, money that our donors alone cannot raise. We therefore hope that some large funds will be able to invest a considerable amount to make this dream come true. 

If we have commitments, we can also start immediately with the mass sanctuary of turtles, which would be great, wouldn’t it? We will immediately help all our colleague animal shelters and animal ambulances to relieve the burden of turtles. 

We would like to ask you to join us in holding your fingers crossed for all the 5000+ turtles that we already have in the shelter and the many that are yet to come <3

Soon it will be possible for you as a follower to participate in the reserve. You can then virtually buy trees, plants, water and even land. But even more fun is that you can also buy your place in the reserve, your name will be on the wall of fame in the reserve. VIP tours will be given among the participants and all participants are welcome at the first VIP open day in the reserve! For companies, foundations and associations there will be an opportunity to be immortalized with name and logo on our wall of fame, when they contribute to the reserve.
