Endangered Turtle Conservation Trip
Donation protected
Please help me go to Barra de Parismina, Costa Rica where I'll volunteer with ASTOP (Asociacion Salvemos Las Tortugas De Parismina), an organization "dedicated to protecting sea turtles and their eggs from poaching, while initiating sustainable development and providing a viable alternative economy to poaching in the small Caribbean community of Parismina." I'll be spending most of my nights patroling the beaches, searching for nesting females in order to relocate the eggs to ASTOP's guarded hatchery, releasing hatchlings, and simply being present, decreasing opportunities for poachers. During the day I'll work in the hatchery, on the beach clearing debris, and in the local community at the recycling center, and teaching English.
All of your donations will go towards airfare, bus and boat rides to Parismina, as well as the program and homestay fees.
Thank you!!
