While volunteers all over the world come to join Lang Tengah, their team is made up of many who are native to this area. The local team members can help share their extensive insight and knowledge with volunteers.
Sea turtle volunteers with Lang Tengah will join nightly patrols, conduct nest inspections, and much more during their volunteer experience. Afternoons are intentionally free of activities to give volunteers time to themselves.
