why sea turtles?
headstarts.org has chosen sea turtles 
as the initial focus of its conservation efforts
in part because these ancient creatures are among the most important indicators
of the health of the world's marine and coastal ecosystems.
headstarts.org believes that whether sea turtles ultimately vanish from the planet
or whether they remain a wild and thriving part of the natural world, will speak
volumes about both the general health of the planet and the ability of humans to
sustainably coexist with the diversity of life on Earth.
what's next?
Nearly all captive elephant were captured in the wild, and even though wild populations
are dwindling, zoos are still capturing more. Taken from their families and homeland,
elephant in zoos suffer a life of chronic physical ailments, social deprivation,
emotional starvation, and premature death.
the medium term ...
The giant panda 
is the rarest and among the world’s most threatened animals.
This bamboo-eating member of the bear family faces a number of threats.
Its forest habitat, in the mountainous areas of southwest China, is
increasingly fragmented. It is our medium term target to help.
