From your description, "got to hold lots of animals" i'm guessing you were at one of the zoos on 'Turtle Island'. It's why you, "didn't see much conservation work." I'd be surprised if they had any wildlife conservation at all.
If you'd like to experience genuine turtle conservation the next time you're in Bali, the Turtle Conservation and Education Center (TCEC) on Serangan Island is the place to go.
They don't have any other animals other than turtles, and handling is not allowed.
