Organization information
Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Association
Location: San Lucas, Guatemala
Summary
ARCAS will hire local guides (the majority ex-poachers), conduct educational activities and purchase nests with the goal of incubating at least 30,000 olive ridley, green and leatherback sea turtle eggs in the Hawaii and El Rosario hatcheries on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. The project will contribute to the conservation of these endangered species while also contributing to the sustainable livelihoods of low-income local residents.
