Turtles lovers: volunteers are needed in Costa Rica

If you love turtles and you want to do something good and useful, than you should really check this opportunity. Volunteers are needed to help conserve and protect the Olive Ridley Turtles in the beautiful Drake Bay and Ganado playa at the South-eastern Costa Rican coast.

Sound awesome right?! All you need to do is to take long walk on the beach during the night and help preserve the turtles nests. Check out all the details in this article.

Here are some background information:

“The rapid disappearance of sea turtles on the beaches is the reason why this project was initiated in 2006. The low nesting numbers of the Olive Ridley Turtle (Lepidochelys olivácea) raised the alarm. Pacific Sea turtle populations are critically endangered throughout the world, and this project is working hard to conserve and protect this species in this part of Costa Rica.”

If you are interested and you match the requirements, please contact Victoria McNeil at victoria.mcneil@workingabroad.com
