Contribute to the Sea Turtle Conservation Project in Costa Rica, which helps preserve the country's incredible biodiversity through the protection of endangered sea turtle nests and the release of turtle hatchlings into the wild. The program was established in 1989 and has more than 20 years of experience in the conservation and protection of endangered sea turtle populations on Costa Rica's Caribbean and Pacific coasts. The program focuses on the protection of four species of sea turtle: Pacific Black, Olive Ridley, and the occasional Hawksbill and Leatherback. These marine creatures are under serious threat from poachers who engage in the trade of turtle skin, shells, meat, and eggs, causing the destruction of the turtle's natural habitat and their accidental capture in fishing lines....

A dream come true!
August 28, 2018by: Daisy Black - PolandProgram: Volunteer with Turtles in Costa Rica | GlobalteerOverall, I thoroughly enjoyed this project. The staff were great, and it was wonderful to be able to learn about Costa Rica from the locals working there. I was lucky to have such a great group of volunteers with me at the time, that made the whole experience awesome. The work was better than expected, we had lots to do and it all felt like we were making a positive difference. I love turtles so this was a dream come true for me. Seeing them up close and knowing that we helped the individuals as well as the species was a truly rewarding thing.
