The Earth, Sea & Sky centre is located on the beautiful Greek island of Zakynthos. The centre was established in 1993 by a local conservationist. A lot of different activities are carried out by the centre in order to protect the endangered loggerhead turtles that nest on the island's beaches. The centre is visited by around 15,000 tourists each year. The tourists are given information and advice about loggerhead turtles. But, these are not the only fascinating creatures that can be found on the island. There is plenty more wildlife that the centre hopes to protect for future generations to enjoy.

Explanation:
1) The verb "locate" is changed to "is located" to show the passive form. This form is used to emphasize the subject (the Earth, Sea & Sky centre) rather than the action.
2) The verb "establish" is changed to "was established" to show the passive form. This form is used when the focus is on the action rather than the doer.
3) The verb "carry out" is left in its base form because it is already in the passive form.
4) The verb "visit" is changed to "is visited" to show the passive form. This form is used to emphasize the subject (the centre) rather than the action.
5) The verb "give" is changed to "are given" to show the passive form. This form is used when the receiver of the action (the tourists) is more important than the doer.
6) The verb "can/find" is changed to "can be found" to show the passive form. This form is used to emphasize the subject (fascinating creatures) rather than the action.

By using the passive form, the text highlights the actions being done to the centre and the creatures, rather than focusing on who is doing the actions. It also creates a more descriptive and detailed narrative.
