For a very long time sea turtles were unprotected, but since the 1980's, volunteers have monitored and recorded nesting activity in New Smyrna Beach under a government permit. Volunteers from various backgrounds joined forces in an effort to protect nesting sea turtles, their eggs, and hatch-lings from beach driving and other human induced threats. In 2013, the volunteer group reorganized as the New Smyrna Beach marine turtle conservancy. With the help of Jessi Bruton, a graphic designer with New Smyrna Beach roots, the NSB turtle trackers brand was developed as the official name for the volunteers of the New Smyrna Beach Marine Turtle Conservancy. While the name of our group has changed, our goals have not. We are still committed to the tracking and conservation of threatened and endangered sea turtles and public education in new Smyrna Beach.

Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy inspires, motivates, and engages people to protect, preserve, and restore wildlife habitat in Loudoun County.

Wildlife Waystation was founded in 1976 to rescue and provide sanctuary for abandoned, abused or injured wild and exotic animals. Internationally known, the Wildlife Waystation has accepted tigers from Ireland, lions from New Zealand and Canada, and a variety of animals from across the United States, as well as Southern California native wildlife. Every rescue was important and, often life-saving. Over the years, thousands of native wildlife have been rehabilitated and successfully released back into their natural habitat. Thousands more, mostly exotics, have remained at our sanctuary. Here, they are well cared for by animal care staff, veterinarians and dedicated volunteers for the rest of their natural lives. Wildlife Waystation is also the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the Western United States. Most of the chimpanzees have come from biomedical research facilities. Throughout the Waystation's history, educating the public has been a priority with a goal to preserve wildlife through understanding how to co-exist with native wildlife and why exotic animals do not make good pets. Through community programs, volunteers are available to speak to civic groups, scouts and schools and offer a Ranger Program for young children as well. The Wildlife Waystation continues this educational efforts by participating in community events throughout southern California. Frequently, some or our educational animals are also in attendance, a treat for the public and a way to convey our message.

Go Conscious Earth protects African rainforests and the animals that live there by partnering with indigenous communities to eliminate extreme poverty and cultivate sustainable practices. We have conserved one million acres of rainforest and provided clean water to over 10,000 people so far! We have asked the communities there what they need and we are working with them to make that happen - simple projects that work, starting with clean water.

Our mission is to assure compassionate and humane treatment of all animals in our community.

The Indo-Pacific Conservation Alliance (IPCA) is dedicated to the study and conservation of the native ecosystems of the tropical Indo-Pacific region and support for traditional peoples in their stewardship of these globally significant natural resources. Our current field projects are located in Indonesia and New Guinea. Our main program is with the Asmat community of southwestern Papua, Indonesia, in the lowlands of Lorentz National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the largest and most diverse protected area in the Asia-Pacific Region. Our conservation successes include halting destructive commercial logging and fishing operations. IPCA is based at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii. Rather than establish in-country offices, which is both expensive and unnecessary, we work with and through local partners to minimize overhead costs and put financial resources into the field where it is urgently needed. IPCA was formed in 1998 in collaborative association with scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, Bishop Museum, and other leading scientific and conservation organizations. Our projects are science-based and driven by our desire to work in authentic collaboration with indigenous communities, in-country scientists, local conservation groups, and other stakeholders. Our geographic focus is on the tropical Indo-Pacific region, a vast area that includes Indonesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia -- by far the most biologically and culturally diverse area of the planet.
