Over the past 18 months, our project “Wiki Loves Sea Turtle Monuments” has been enriched with fifty-four photos of sea turtle monuments from around the world. Our aim is to document the significance of sea turtles as a symbol throughout history and culture and its prevailing importance in modern times. With the help of individuals like you, we can use art as a platform for raising awareness about the plight of these amazing yet threatened species of our seas and oceans.

Recently, our good friends from The Kerulos Center, a non profit organisation in Oregon which helps animals in need, launched a crowd-funding campaign to create The Cook Islands Honu Monument to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Cook Islands.
