Save Our Snake-Necked Turtles Volunteer Information Session

We are seeking volunteers to take part in monitoring our local snake-necked turtles as part of a citizen science and community engagement program to help conserve the southwestern snake-necked turtle.

The Saving Our Snake-Necked Turtle (SOSNT) project aims to:

• Save the southwestern snake-necked turtle populations from further decline and potential extinction.

• Increase public awareness of southwestern snake-necked turtles and empower the southwestern WA community to contribute to turtle conservation

• Create dedicated teams of ‘Turtle Trackers’ at wetlands/rivers throughout the southwestern snake-necked turtle's range to protect nesting females and their nests.

• Create management plans for the species, both generally and at select wetlands.

The project relies on hundreds of people across Perth and the Southwest volunteering to become citizen scientists and helping to observe and map turtle activity.

To get involved or to get more information, please register to our information session. Please note that this activity may not be suitable for children.
