The non-profit arm of the Morukuru Family collection of lodges, Morukuru Goodwill Foundation, is contributing towards construction of an additional rehabilitation facility at the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundations Turtle Conservation Centre TCC in Cape Town.
This additional space will allow the centre to care for 126 more sea turtles in response to the dramatic surge after extreme weather in April this year.
It is part of the foundations continuing support including the adoption of one of the centres rescues a green sea turtle named Nori.
TCC has contributed to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of over 1 000 turtles. However, an influx of over 589 loggerhead turtle hatchlings in April strained resources.
In addition to the hatchlings, the centre cares for several sub-adult turtles each with unique rehabilitation needs.
