Risks and guarantees involved with this gift

This gift covers the cost of the transmitter, the satellite tracking service for at least seven months, expenses to fit the turtle with the equipment, and some of the costs of the communications effort associated with this initiative.

The cost of your gift will cover the cost of seven months of tracking, however many transmitters last much longer than seven months, and WWF will cover the costs of tracking the turtle should your funding run out. This means that you will be able to track that turtle for as long as the transmitter is operational.

Unfortunately transmitters don't last forever, and there is a real risk that the transmitter will stop working before the seven months. Additionally, thanks to over-fishing and other risks, your turtle will be at risk of being caught or killed during the time we are tracking her.

We understand that you expect to get a minimum value from this very important gift, and so WWF guarantees that if, for whatever reason, your turtle stops transmitting within the first three months, we will fit another one free of charge, and you will be able to name that turtle too.

    Your Gift means WWF can Work Hard to Save Turtles

    WWF is now conducting or supporting turtle conservation work in 45 countries and is engaged in every major international turtle conservation policy discussion underway.

    New technologies make it possible to learn much more about what happens to turtles at sea, unfortunately costs are often prohibitive...

    You can save turtles around the world

    The new tracking technologies that are now available mean that researchers are able to learn much more about what happens to turtles at sea.

    Buy this incredible gift for $10,000 (8,000 euros) and the difference you make will be incredible...

    Where do you think your turtle will end up?
    • If we tag a turtle in Panama for you, she could end up near Florida like Roamin' Romana did!
    • Other turtles have been tagged in South American and tracked all the way to Africa!
    Buy this gift and follow your sea turtle... where will she be in three months?

    Together you'll be contributing to groundbreaking research...
    There are presently fewer than 10 scientific publications presenting the movements or behaviour of Atlantic leatherback turtles at sea using electronic technologies. This gift can help change that.

      ... funding WWF's dedicated researchers will help them gain new learning about turtles...
