Islanders are being asked to collectively shell out at least £20,000 to charter a private aircraft to fly the stricken sea turtle 2,000 miles back to warmer waters.
Nearly two weeks ago Terri was found washed up on the beach at Grève d’Azette on Sunday 10 January. Vets say that Terri has made significant progress and vets now say it is ‘active’ and ‘strong’.
The next move is try to transport the turtle to warmer waters in Gran Canaria where it will continue its rehabilitation and eventually be released into the wild.
A fundraising page has been set up and within days more than £2,000 had been raised but vets and Islanders behind the campaign say they need as much as ten times that amount.
