Why support Estación
Las Tortugas?
- Dedicated personnel and
volunteers work long hours for the protection of the endangered leatherback
turtle and threatened green turtle. The donations enable the reserve
to have year round staff, equipment upgrades, as well as continued sustainability
for the project. Without added support the reserve is only able to function
for 6 months out of the year, allowing for possible environmental disruption
and lack of continued research.
- Your donations
help support:
- Research
- Conservation
- Protection
- Sustainability of
the station year round
