The Sea Turtle Conservation Research Center Project is located in barangay Danjugan, Cauayan, Negros Occidental, a 43 hectare island wildlife and marine sanctuary that is rich in bio-diversity. it has five lagoons with lush mangrove forests, lush limestone, vast seagrass beds and coral reefs. It is reachable by a 20 minute small boiat ride from the mainland.
The locals in the Danjugan community continue to protect this rich sanctuary and needed a research center in that volunteer researchers, scientists and the community volunteers that guard the island has a place to stay to minimize the expense of traveling to and from the mainland.
Foundation University architecture students developed a design and build program to contribute to the non-profit eco-tourism project of this island. The project has finally broke ground and commenced construction. It is in its early stages of construction done by the students themselves with some help from the Danjugan community volunteers.
