TREE Foundation began its work in Nellore in the year 2008 and has progressively been strengthening community based sea turtle conservation. In the year 2008–2009, the organisation protected 36 nests, following which 40 nests were protected in 2009–2010, 142 during the 2010–2011 season, and 97 nests to date in the current season (2011–2012). This steady increase in nest protection has given encouragement, as well as motivation, to expand TREE Foundation’s Community Based Sea Turtle Conservation work to other coastal areas in Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh, which resulted in the inclusion of 16 km in Sulurpetta–Pulicat Sanctuary Range and 42 km in Shriharikota Island (SHAR).
