You’ll collect data on nesting females and hatchlings—an ideal opportunity to gain hands-on experience in field research while connecting with the local community. All of this while staying in an incredible jungle camp in Playa Carate, just outside the Corcovado National Park.

Programmdetails

Our program is in the incredibly bio-diverse Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica's richest get away, hosting 2.5% of the worlds biodiversity. Our jungle camp is the base of our conservation and community work. Our focus is on the two species of turtle we have nesting on our beaches, collecting data all year round and directly protecting nests on the beach.

We also strive to be as sustainable as possible with our garden and our plastic up-cycling work. Our goal is to engage the community in everything we do and empower our small community to join us in protecting the local ecosystems.

Aktivitäten & Schichten

Volunteers will be able to join our research team as we patrol the beaches to record valuable data on these turtle populations. Morning census involves walking along the beaches as the sun rises, recording any tracks from the night before. In the night we patrol the beaches in search of nesting mother turtles, allowing us to record biological data from the mothers.

Volunteers will learn all about turtle biology and conservation through workshops and being directly part of our field team. You will be a vital part of managing our turtle hatchery, where we protect nests from dogs on the beach, help us relocate nests and protect them until hatching.

Our camp is in the heart of the community, so you will have the chance to get to meet and work with locals. You will also be immersed in rich tropical forest, we will give the opportunity to explore and search for many animals.

Sea turtle monitoring can be quite physically demanding (lots of walking on soft sand), and in order for us to be able to collect the best data possible we are also mainly working during early mornings and late nights. This is awesome though, as the night sky is like no other, and we can never get tired of sunrises over pristine beaches...

We expect volunteers to support on the beaches as much as possible, and collaborate in other environmental activities that we may be conducting during the day. This is not a vacation location, it's a conservation station!!

We are also a POSITIVE VIBES ORGANIZATION :D which means that we expect everyone to bring the best version of themselves, and treat everyone on the project and in the community with love and respect.
