ABOUT BIODIVERTIS
Bridging Science and Conservation: Turtle Island & Biodivertis
At Turtle Island, we are committed not only to saving endangered turtles—but also to shaping the future of biodiversity protection. That’s why we’ve partnered with Biodivertis, a groundbreaking holistic genetic marker system that uses cutting-edge science to create unique digital identities for animals and plants.
These individual “genetic passports” allow for a new level of transparency, traceability, and truth in conservation.

More InformationHOW IT WORKS
Every living being carries a unique genetic fingerprint. Biodivertis extracts this identity using two proven DNA marker technologies—STRs (short tandem repeats) and SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms). Both provide essential information into genetics and combining them together as a genetic passport is a gamechanger.
These digital certificates can be traded, tracked, and verified using secure blockchain technology. The result: a new kind of biodiversity certificate—fraud-proof, transparent, and accessible from anywhere in the world.
WHY IT MATTERS
Illegal wildlife trade and unclear supply chains are major threats to global biodiversity. Biodivertis provides a powerful solution: verifiable, tamper-proof documentation that ensures the legal and ethical sourcing of animals and animal-derived products.
DNA samples can be collected easily using lab-free test kits and linked to the global Biodivertis database, providing vital data for species monitoring, zoo breeding programs, and international conservation networks.
REAL IMPACT FOR REAL ANIMALS
Some of the world’s most endangered turtles are already part of the Biodivertis database—including our Kinosternon vogti, a critically endangered mud turtle from Mexico.
For these animals, genetic identification isn’t just data—it’s a lifeline. It secures their survival, proves their origin, and adds measurable value to conservation efforts.
And we’re only at the beginning of the journey—marker technology could redefine what’s possible in species protection.
BUSINESS MEETS BIODIVERSITY
Companies that partner with Turtle Island not only help protect endangered species—they also gain a strategic advantage. Each blockchain-secured Biodiversity Certificate is verifiable proof of impact and links corporate responsibility to real conservation. The certificates strengthen ESG strategies, support sustainability reporting, and align with the biodiversity goals of the EU Green Deal.
Investing in biodiversity means taking responsibility—and positioning the company as a sustainability leader.
A FUTURE FULL OF LIFE
With Biodivertis, Turtle Island is pioneering a new era of conservation—where science, technology, and global cooperation come together to protect life on Earth.
By giving endangered species a digital identity, we turn their protection into something tangible, transparent, and shareable. But lasting change takes more than innovation—it takes all of us.
Only together can we ensure that biodiversity has a future. Let’s take responsibility. Let’s act—before it’s too late.
