Sea Turtle Conservation & Environmental Education
Organization information
Corcovado Foundation
Location: Moravia,, Costa Rica
Summary
Currently, we are responding to the request from the Ministry of Environment in Costa Rica to help them protect the Punta Mala-Playa Hermosa Wildlife Refuge sea turtle population. This sea turtle population is very large. However, the majority of the nests are lost to high tides, and the uncontrolled growth of predators due to the ecosystem is unbalanced, by the hunting of large predators. Our biologists and volunteers work tirelessly to relocate the nests and save as many eggs as possible.
