Save the sea turtles

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit The Leatherback Trust, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

We are asking you to support our efforts to protect critically endangered East Pacific Leatherback Turtles. The Covid-19 pandemic and its implications have greatly impacted our conservation efforts in Costa Rica. We are doing our best to maintain our services at Las Baulas National Marine Park and in Playa Cabuyal for the protection of leatherback, green and olive ridley turtles with greatly reduced resources and very few volunteers. Despite all difficulties, we carry out our research and outreach programs and make sure we maintain critical hygiene protocols to protect our staff from Covid-19.

To continue to save the turtles we need financial support so that we can pay our staff in Costa Rica and help the local communities who are helping to save the turtles.

Now more than ever we need your help. Please support The Leatherback Trust - Every little bit helps!

More information about The Leatherback Trust: The Leatherback Trust is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving the leatherback sea turtle. Our mission is to promote the conservation of leatherbacks and other turtles at risk of extinction by running conservation projects at important nesting sites for the species and tackling major threats to their survival such as incidental capture in fishing gear, impact of climate change and marine debris pollution.
