Turtle Conservation on the South Coast of Yogyakarta

Turtles are a marine species that play an important role in the ecosystem, but their population has experienced a drastic decline due to various factors, including overfishing, habitat destruction and climate change. In Indonesia, including on the South Coast of Yogyakarta, especially Goa Cemara Beach, turtle conservation efforts are very important to maintain the survival of this species.

The South Coast of Yogyakarta, especially in areas such as Goa Cemara Beach, is an important habitat for several types of turtles, including the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). These two species are known as turtles that are often found nesting on this beach.

Conservation Efforts

Egg Hatching Program: One of the main initiatives in sea turtle conservation is the egg hatching program. Mr Fajar and his friends have been carrying out turtle conservation since 2010 and until now have released hundreds of thousands or even millions of tukik. Turtle eggs found on the beach are moved to safe hatching places to protect them from predators and theft.

Community Education: Local community awareness regarding the importance of turtle conservation is crucial. Various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) carry out outreach and education to local residents about how to protect turtle habitats and the negative impacts of illegal fishing. Apart from that, cooperation is also needed from local residents to mutually protect nature.

Beach Guard: Volunteers and conservation officers routinely carry out patrols along the coast to prevent turtle hunting or taking their eggs. Especially during turtle egg-laying season. High dedication is also given to anglers and beach visitors, when they see turtles laying eggs they will report it to local officers.

Challenges

Apart from human factors, climate change has resulted in an increase in temperature which can affect hatching success. While infrastructure development around the coast also threatens the natural habitat of sea turtles.

 A good time to visit and release the tukik to the beach is in the afternoon, while watching the sunset.
