Improvements needed
I had a mixed experience at TMR doing the turtle programme and based on my experience I would not recommend it.
The positives - lovely group of people, the food was decent, accommodation was as expected, staff were friendly, good location.
The negatives -
1. The training given to volunteers was completely inadequate. This meant there were inconsistencies with the depth that the turtle eggs were buried at (we were told 1 arms length which obviously varied by person and different species are meant to be buried at different depths) and I doubt that some of the eggs will ever hatch as they may have been buried at the wrong depth. When some eggs did hatch, the lack of training meant it was a complete disaster with some hatchlings being stepped on and crushed, which was really upsetting and could have been easily avoided. I raised the lack of training point with the local staff and I believe they are working on developing a more comprehensive training programme, however given the length of time this programme has been running I would have expected this to already be in place.
2. The volunteers were offered the opportunity by the local team to visit turtle beach which was described as somewhere you can see and swim with grown turtles. The turtle beach was incredibly upsetting and was one of the worst moments of my trip. Turtles were baited into a small shallow area where hundreds of tourists were touching, feeding and picking them up. Given that TMR call themselves the only ethical turtle sanctuary in Sri Lanka, they should absolutely not be condoning this form of animal cruelty by offering their volunteers the opportunity to visit. I raised this point with the local team and suggested some outreach could be done with the local community and tourists to explain the problems with this and how turtles can be interacted with ethically but was told that this was too dangerous and the programme could be shut down by the local authorities, which I find doubtful.
3. Similarly to the point above, we were offered the opportunity to visit a ‘turtle sanctuary’ which I researched in advance and found multiple problems with including keeping the hatchlings in glass jars for days/weeks, handling the hatchlings by hand without gloves and not following proper procedure for releasing them into the sea. I raised this with the local team and they acknowledged that these practices weren’t ethical but continued to offer the trip.
4. TMR pay poachers for the turtle eggs so the eggs go to the hatchery instead of being sold on. These eggs are then buried the next morning at the 6am census. On two occasions eggs were delivered by poachers at 7.30am which led me to believe that these poachers are digging up the turtle nests to collect the eggs rather than collecting them as they’re being laid, as it’s highly unlikely that turtles are laying their eggs after sunrise. This is really problematic as these nests should be left undisturbed.
5. Further to the point above, I think the hatchery itself is actually counterintuitive as the poachers could be paid to protect the beach (instead of for the eggs) so the turtles could lay their eggs and they hatch naturally rather than them being moved to the hatchery and disturbing the natural process. Volunteers would still be able to see the turtles lay eggs and patrols could be added to see the eggs hatch naturally on the beach. I didn’t raise this feedback with the local team as I felt like they had limited control over this and it was feedback for management.
6. Tharu, the programme coordinator, was very friendly and was trying her best, but I don’t think the management were properly supporting her to run the programme. She lacked the subject specific knowledge (i.e. marine conservation) to run the programme to a high ethical standard and she would have benefitted from specialist support by a marine conservationist.
7. Finally, the programme is very expensive. I was happy to pay this price under the understanding that this money is going towards a good cause but there is not much evidence that the money is actually being spent on the turtle conservation programme. In my opinion, TMR seems profit driven with positive impact being secondary.

Hello Roisin,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you met a lovely group of people, enjoyed the location and found the staff friendly, however we are very sorry to hear that certain aspects of the programme did not meet your expectations.
It is a shame that none of these concerns were raised directly with us whilst you were volunteering in Sri Lanka. We have strong procedures in place so that any questions or concerns can be discussed in more detail at the time, allowing us to implement improvements immediately and ensure your experience continues to improve throughout your stay.
Regarding the training, the depth of turtle eggs will naturally vary, as this is what happens in the wild depending on the species and the conditions of the beach. However, we are very sorry to hear about hatchlings being stepped on, as this should never happen. We have reached out via email to request some further information about how this happened, so we can ensure additional controls or training are implemented to prevent this from happening again, but we have not heard back from you yet.
With regards to Turtle Beach, we would never personally recommend visiting locations where turtles are handled inappropriately, and I am unsure why this was suggested by the local team. From what we understand, this is sometimes requested by volunteers independently, however we will ensure this is not promoted moving forward.
The visit to a traditional turtle sanctuary is typically offered so volunteers can clearly see the differences between what we are doing ethically in our hatchery and what many other UK organisations offer. It also allows the team and volunteers to monitor turtle welfare and continue building relationships with the owners, with the long-term aim of improving standards or rescuing turtles where possible. This is explained to all turtle volunteers during the orientation that takes place on your first Monday morning.
In relation to the egg collection process, the approach taken is designed to build relationships with local individuals who would otherwise sell the eggs for consumption or to less regulated facilities, where survival rates are extremely low. The intention long-term is to reduce poaching altogether and move towards protecting nests directly on the beach. Unfortunately, at present, leaving nests unprotected would result in the eggs almost certainly being taken. We understand that conservation work can sometimes be complex and imperfect in certain regions, however the aim is always to improve outcomes for the turtles over time.
We appreciate your comments regarding programme management support. We have previously explored having dedicated marine conservation specialists in Sri Lanka, however this has proven challenging logistically. That said, we continue to review how we can strengthen expertise and support for the local team.
With regards to cost, the programme fee includes accommodation, meals, airport transfers, in-country support, project resources and ongoing conservation work. We have not previously received feedback that the programme is expensive relative to what is included, however we would be happy to understand this in more detail.
We never want anyone to leave the programme feeling disappointed, and it is a shame we were not made aware of these concerns during your stay as we could have provided further explanation and taken steps to improve your experience at the time.
Thank you once again for taking your time to leave feedback and it would be great to receive a reply to our email with further information.
Thanks

TMR Sri Lanka
I was in TMR medical programme for March and it was definitely an experience to remember. The placements they take you too are very interesting and has similarities and differences to the NHS in the UK, we also got experience going to the herbal hospitals which was insightful considering this practice isn’t used in the UK. TMR was great place to stay provided with all you would need as well as good quality food 3x a day with restaurants near by if you want to go and explore to the nearby town in Hikkeduwa with only 1200 rupees. It was a great way to meet new people as they have their own bar that hosts karaoke on Tuesdays and is open with a pool. It is a great way to meet new people and TMR help arrange afternoon activities such as walks, kayaking, surfing, football during the week. As well as the weekend trips you can do for extra which were very great particularly to do on the first weekend so you don’t have to worry about the itinerary whilst doing and seeing so much I had a chance to zip line and hike and go to a safari. Even though I was in the medical programme I got to witness the turtle programme release turtles and was fortunate to get involved which was great. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone that wants to travel but is worried about doing it alone.

Amazing experience doing turtle conservation
I’ve had the most amazing time spending 3 weeks on the turtle conservation programme in Sri Lanka. So much of this has been down to Tharu, she is clearly passionate about the conservation work she does, and has been such a kind and fun friend and mentor whilst I’ve been here. I’ve learned so much during my time here both about turtle conservation efforts and being immersed in a culture other than my own. I’ve found the programme so well organised and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone. This has been one of the best experiences of my life!!

I'm almost at the end of 3 weeks volunteering with the childcare and teaching projects at TMR in Sri Lanka and it's been an incredible experience! The staff members do everything they can to make you comfortable and everyone here is so friendly! The children are adorable and both the childcare and teaching projects are very rewarding so I'd definitely recommend them. I was very nervous coming out here as this was my first time travelling anywhere on my own, but there are lots of people here in the same position so there's been lots of help available. I can't think of any negatives and I would recommend this experience a million times over!

I highly recommend the street dog programme !
I highly recommend the street dog programme! I was originally there for 3 months for the turtle conservation programme, whilst it was magical seeing Green and Olive Ridley turtles lay eggs. I found myself helping with the dogs every day instead. There was so much more to help out with so I felt like I was truly making a difference. For example you making the dog food, walk the dogs on the beach, go to the vets,and go on the tuktuk to feed the strays. I fell in love with every dog and wanted to take them home! If you’re an animal lover this is definitely for you! Kavi, the volunteer coordinator is exceptional at her job and always makes everyone feel included and welcome🤗 . Whilst at times it was hard work it was also very rewarding. In fact it has inspired me to take a veterinary course in the future, I learnt a lot, how to bandage and administrate medicine. The accommodation is also very nice, with air con too, and the beach right out front! The staff were all lovely and the food was delicious I miss it all already.

Amazing experience, staff were lovely and food was good. Lots of opportunities to experience different wards and hospitals including a herbal hospital and clinic. Really expanded my knowledge on global health which will be very beneficial to me when starting my career in the UK. Additionally, we went on a weekend trip organised by TMR which was amazing and so well organised. In the week there is also lots of opportunities to go surfing, kayaking and participate in karaoke. It was also lovely to get to know the other volunteers on different projects. We were lucky enough to watch a turtle release and meet some of the rescue dogs. Amazing experience overall!

Sri Lanka Turtle Conservation
I had an amazing time doing the turtle program for 4 weeks in Sri Lanka! You have the opportunity to watch turtles laying eggs, bury them in the on-site hatchery and release the babies once they have hatched- this does involve some late nights/ early mornings but you do have a lot of free time in the day. Although it was introduced after I started (as it felt a bit confusing due to the lack of hands-on experience and guidance, which was exacerbated by the number of new people) there are now practical sessions, reference videos, tools for egg burying, and a more detailed presentation when you first arrive, which makes everything run more smoothly. The conservation itself feels quite ethical as turtles are released immediately after they hatch, eggs/ hatchlings are always handled with gloves, and contact with laying mothers is kept to a minimum. However, there are many places in the local area that don’t feel as ethical, such as the local turtle beach where tourists can feed/ swim with the animals, and trips to some of these places are organised by the local team, which many people weren’t fully comfortable with, however you can choose to not attend.
Tharu, the programme organiser, made the experience even more enjoyable as she is so kind, funny and is always there to help if needed. All of the staff are lovely and make you feel so welcome. They are also always up for feedback to improve the experience.
The accommodation is quite basic but well equipped, as rooms have aircon, mosquito nets and decently sized bathrooms (one per room, which does make it a bit tricky if you’re in a larger room size). Food is buffet style traditional cuisine on a rotating schedule which is good (a bit repetitive) but there are so many incredible food spots in the local area to explore as well.
You get a lot of free time in the day across all programmes, with a lot of flexibility when it comes to wanting to try other things (I did childcare for a few days as well). Weekends are also really good opportunities to explore further afield as well, and the organised trips are really fun- I did the hill country one and the organisation/ structure means you get to see so much!
Overall, this has been such an incredible experience. I have met so many amazing people and experienced so many new things!
