Description
The tasks for the day are discussed every day over breakfast. The main task is to protect the sea turtles. Depending on the season, it is very important to build new enclosures to protect the turtle eggs.
Your tasks in the sea turtle project in Costa Rica:
Volunteers help for between 5-6 hours every day. The nests in which the baby sea turtles hatch must be checked daily. You will then accompany the little turtles into the sea. As turtles often come to the beach at night, you will also often work at night. You will patrol the beach and watch the turtles as they come out of the water and lay their eggs. You then collect the eggs and bring them safely to the enclosure.
When tourist groups arrive, they are shown around, and the conservation programs are explained. Educational measures are very important to achieve sustainable success. During your time on the program, you will get to know the different species of turtles and will see some during your project. Other tasks: Preparation of the beach, this includes cleaning it up.
This program is already fully booked from June – end of August!
