Building areas are the sqare blocks, the blue ones are the pond areas, near the building you can see the relax areas, and in the land here and there are meditation spots, and of course, around the biggest pond is the area with minimal human disturbance for the turtles to enjoy sunbath and swimming.

First it'd make sense to create a foundation. After the foundation has been successfully established, the further actions, purchases, construction works, terrain works would be directed and financed by the foundation. Later the maintenance, operation, and other sanctuary connected activities would be in the responsibility of the foundation.

Suggested location: area of Velencei lake, Agárd

It's a very important point to find a location easy to approach with car, train or bus. It should not be too close to highways or railways because of the pollution and the noise. Also there should be minimal land-height differences.

• Fencing: fortified fence would enclose the land so as to protect animals from escaping and predators

• Reproduction: loosen soil parts would be set, the eggs could be easily collected and returned into feeding, also optionally males and females can be separated in mating time

• Comfort: the underground part of the house would be at one section glass walled for observation, outdoor and underwater cameras would allow us to keep an eye on the turtles, turtle entry at the bottom of the wall: turtles could come in and spend lazy time in one of the indoor ponds; turtles would be separated by size also - small ones will be provided a separate, safe area

• Protection: net designed to cover the ponds to protect the animals from predatory bird attack - or icy rain

• Winter: paravans or nice policarbon roof can be installed when cold weather is approaching, helping the turtles to have an undisturbed winter sleep, heating installed at parts

• Feeding: the turtles living indoors would be fed all year, the outdoor inhabitants would get seasonal feeding and vitamins according to their needs

• Guesthouse's income, it's rooms available all year

• On a part of the land there could be a garden and a few flower fields (rose, lavender, etc.). To sustain these we can apply for some agricultural tender and state support, subsidy

• Writing tenders for the EU committe responsible for the managing of invasive species projects

• In the building a guesthouse would operate, plus a relaxing area for yoga classes, and a creative studio with various equipment (could be rented)

• Vegan food bar, later with a greater and greater variety of vegan delicacies

Close support and cooperation with animal welfare organisations, clubs and associations. Building a community to take care of the adopted turtles. Crowd-founding campaign is planned, though only after the basic setup is ready.
