Turtles Under Our Protection

Turkcell supports the conservation of sea turtles, two of whose seven species are visitors to our island, and shows great care for this valuable asset of our country. In an effort to preserve turtles that are at risk due to increased light pollution and increased human settlement, informative training has been provided in collaboration with the Turtle Conservation Society and the Environmental Department since 2000 at Alagadi beach, one of the critical nesting areas in the Mediterranean. After beach cleanups, turtles visiting our island are sent off on their new journey through annual events called "Little Steps."
