The general day to day running costs of HOPE will come from volunteer contributions. However project developments will often need one-off funding. This is why we have created our wish list of things to donate to or even buy out right. To anybody who donate to a wish list item you shall be given a progress report so you know how your donation has been spent.

On our wish list at the moment are:

Projector – RM2000 – We need a projector to give presentations to groups and resort guests to help spread awareness.

Infra-red camera – RM2000 – we use infra-red cameras during turtle watch to allow tourists to get in intimate view of the nesting turtles but be able to stay far away from the mother turtle so she is not affected by our presence.

Support our Turtles need trees club

Support our Turtles need trees club

Turtle Need Trees Club session – RM500 – each session lasts for 3 hours and educates the children of Sekolah Perhentian about marine conservation.  The session involves the volunteers who through their presence helps to increase the confidence and English skills of the school children.

Nest Temperature Probe – RM1500 – in 2011 HOPE will be running a hatchery at Seribu Pinang and knowing the temperature of the nest is vital.  The temperature of the egg during incubation in the sand affects the sex ratio of the hatchlings – cool guys and hot chicks is the best way for remembering the way.  A temperature increase of just 2c can change the sex ration from 95% male to 95% female!
