Help the turtles
There is perhaps, no creature more globally shared by the peoples of the world than sea turtles
Refugio de vida Silvestre Playa Hermosa Jaco, Costa Rica
we need to learn from them. Frankie visit the shelter in Hermosa Beach, Pacific Coast of Costa Rica and monitor the hatchery, as well as other nests left on the beach, & safeguard the hatching on their first journey to the ocean.
Our support to this Olive Ridley Shelter in Hermosa Beach at the Pacific Coast started last October 2009 with our outreach program for stray dogs and cats but there is someone else the poachers come onto the beach at night and take the turtles and their eggs to sell on the black market for profit.
