My Travel Story

by: Lorna Bedford Start Date: Jan 15, 2018 - End Date: Jul 14, 2018
The main goal of this project is to ensure the protection of various turtle species on the Pacific coasts of Costa Rica. These turtles face numerous threats, including poachers and, more recently, erosion. Each season, this project recruits volunteers to help with research and conservation work, such as night patrolling, working in the hatcheries, collecting eggs and rescuing turtles. Sea turtles are protected by law in Costa Rica, but poaching remains common despite efforts from various organisations. Conserving the sea turtle species is important to me and I feel that this trip will be educational as well as being highly rewarding!

I am so grateful for this opportunity, and hope that you will help me to reach my goal of £500 which will cover the cost of flights for this trip. Help me save the sea turtles of Costa Rica. Thankyou :)
