To achieve our vision and goal we need to work closely together to build and scale ShellBank.
To achieve our vision and goal we need to work closely together to build and scale ShellBank. For ShellBank to work, the database needs to grow.
While the amount of data in the Asia-Pacific region alone has tripled since ShellBank’s establishment, more support is needed to fill the many gaps in our understanding of marine turtle populations, and as we expand globally to include all other marine turtle species.
Ensuring effective project roll-out are critical steps that hinge on our ShellBank team supporting local researchers and governments through hands-on sample collection training and analysis. By bolstering local research and government capabilities, we not only fill existing data gaps but also lay the foundation for sustainable, local leadership in marine turtle conservation and action.
We are seeking $1.5M USD, by 2025, to support ShellBank’s crucial leap from pilot into practice. From 2026 we aim to secure $15M USD.
Join our supporters to help build ShellBank and save turtles!
Since ShellBank was created in 2018, several donors and corporations have shown their commitment to protecting marine turtles, financially supporting the pilot phase of ShellBank. Their support has enabled ShellBank to continue to expand and deliver its conservation impact over the years.
Officially launched in mid-2024, our Supporter Tiers Program is ready to welcome new members into its community. By joining our program, companies can leverage their knowledge and experience of sustainability issues by working with our conservation experts. This Supporter Tiers Program is also open to philanthropic and foundation entities and major donors.
We would like to thank our existing members for their valuable support.
