Fundacja Oceanika

Founded in 2021, Fundacja Oceanika is a non-governmental organisation based in Zagnańsk, Poland working on animal welfare, nature & wildlife conservation.

Fundacja Oceanika is a Polish foundation working for the protection of turtles and animal welfare. It rescues semi-aquatic turtles, including invasive alien species, from the wild on commission, and operates a turtle sanctuary in Poland with a quarantine facility and a large outdoor pond. The foundation also advises municipalities on reporting and handling invasive alien turtle sightings through the national IGO register, promotes responsible handling of exotic pets, and carries out education and research with the animals in its care under permits from the General Directorate for Environmental Protection. Donations are accepted by bank transfer, and its work is supported in part through online shopping donations.
