The 2021 nesting season is officially over for us. With your support, we saved 241,608 hawksbill and 337,732 green sea turtle hatchlings. These make 579,340 hatchlings! Our team drove many long nights during the seven months of the nesting season and worked tirelessly despite the clouds of mosquitoes and no-see-ums, wanting their blood and sweat to make this happen.
And though our fieldwork is over this year and our field team is off to a well-deserved vacation, the preparations for the next season are just starting. All our ATVs require maintenance, the field equipment needs some cleaning, and we need to write technical reports for our management authorities.
You can help us get ready for the 2022 nesting season and save another 500,000 sea turtle hatchlings! With your donations, we can do it. Please consider becoming a monthly donor, share our project with your friends or with other nature lovers. Together we can make a positive impact on the recovery of sea turtles.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting our project.
