Program Details

Cada voluntario aprenderá el proceso completo que hace funcionar nuestro campamento gracias al cual podemos tener un impacto positivo en el crecimiento de poblaciones de tortugas marinas de la zona. Las tortugas regresan a la playa donde nacieron para anidar cuando llegan a edad adulta, así que un día las tortugas que protegimos regresara a la zona del campamento a dejarnos a sus hijos para que los cuidemos.

Each volunteer will learn the complete process that makes our camp work, thanks to which we can have a positive impact on the growth of sea turtle populations in the area. The turtles return to the beach where they were born to anidar when they come to adult age, so one day turtles we protected return to the camp area to let us leave their children to take care of them.


Activities & Shift

Cada voluntarios sera formado a las buenas practicas y se repartirán turnos de día y de noche. Buscamos los huevos de tortuga en la noche usando una cuatrimoto y bolsas de tela. Los huevos se entierran en los diferentes nidos dentro del vivero que se identifican con datos específicos a cada nido. De esta manera sabemos en qué momento saldrán las tortugas de cada nido y organizamos las liberaciones de las tortugas.

Each volunteer will be trained in good practices and will be divided into day and night shifts. We search for turtle eggs at night using an ATV and cloth bags. The eggs are buried in the different nests inside the hatchery which are identified with specific data for each nest. This way we know when the turtles will emerge from each nest and we organize the turtle releases.
