## What Sea Turtle Sponsorship Through WARN Means
Sea turtle sponsorship is recurring USD support for nest protection, hatchling release, bycatch reduction and injured turtle rescue — not tracking a named individual turtle.

## How to Start Sea Turtle Sponsorship from the US
Visit /adopt/sea-turtle, choose monthly or one-off from $5/month, select USD at checkout.

## What Your Sea Turtle Sponsorship Pays For
Beach patrols, hatchery incubation, fishing gear modification and veterinary care for injured turtles on partner coasts.

## Nest Protection and Hatchling Survival
Only about one hatchling in a thousand reaches adulthood. Nest protection is the highest-leverage intervention sponsors fund.

## Bycatch Reduction on Partner Coasts
Partner grants fund gear modifications and fisher training — see /appeals/sea-turtles.

## Monthly Versus One-Off Sea Turtle Sponsorship
Monthly from $5 covers nesting season patrols. One-off gifts at /appeals/sea-turtles suit urgent rescue.

## Gift Sea Turtle Sponsorship for US Occasions
Checkout at /adopt/sea-turtle, email WARN for a certificate.

## US Tax Status
Sea turtle sponsorship is not US tax-deductible. See /rescue/adopt-a-sea-turtle-us.

## Why US Donors Choose WARN — Transparent Partner Grants
WARN is a UK Community Interest Company global not-for-profit — not a US 501(c)(3). US donations are not tax-deductible; you receive a payment receipt for your records. WARN is a registered UK Community Interest Company (Company no. 17298990) and is not a charity, so it cannot claim Gift Aid. The donation case is transparent partner-led welfare where support reaches practical field needs. Gifts fund WARN's 17-country partner network across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America through vetted local partners — not WARN-run sanctuaries. Give in USD at /donate or monthly at /donate/monthly.

## What Your USD Gift Buys on the Ground
Roughly $20–30 funds one street dog through catch, neuter, rabies vaccination and return where partner clinics operate. $125 supports a small clinic day. $600 helps stock quarantine after a trafficking seizure. Monthly gifts let partners plan multi-year programmes instead of crisis-only response.

## Monthly Versus One-Off from the United States
One-off gifts suit urgent appeals at /adopt/sea-turtle/. Monthly at /donate/monthly or symbolic adoption at /adopt builds predictable income for vaccination rounds and rehabilitation. Checkout accepts USD; neither route implies ownership of an individual animal.

## What WARN funds
- Beach patrols and nest protection during nesting season.
- Hatchery incubation and hatchling release support.
- Bycatch reduction and fisher training.
- Veterinary care for injured and stranded turtles.
