Turtle Conservation Project in Costa Rica

Do you love wildlife conservation? Would you like to live and work on a beautiful Costa Rican beach? Then become a volunteer on our amazing Turtle Conservation projects! We offer project locations throughout Costa Rica, and depending on the season, we will place you in a project where you'll be able to help out the most. We collaborate with Costa Rican turtle conservation organizations with years of experience with volunteers and sea turtle conservation. They are in urgent need of more help! Turtle eggs are being poached in Costa Rica and sold illegally on the black market. There are also many other natural dangers for the turtles, like stray dogs or wild animals digging up the nests. With your help, more baby turtles will make it into the ocean and have the chance to fight for survival and mature into fully grown adults. An ideal volunteer on this project has a passion for animal conservation and biology, enjoys physical labor, and loves being outdoors! You don’t have to speak Spanish for this project, as project staff and other volunteers speak English. You need to be willing to walk the beaches for hours during patrols, but also sit still for hours watching the hatchery.
