Save the Sea Turtles

Dear friend,

After nonstop protection, you helped make a difference for sea turtles this year.

Now, we need your vote today. Thanks to our amazing supporters, our decoy sea turtle egg with a tracking device has made it to CBS network's Innovation Nation's contest called #MoMadness. This Twitter-exclusive competition ends Friday the 29th OF April! Please help us by voting for the GPS turtle egg, a technology that can be used to track illegal sea turtle trade and save sea turtles. Take a moment to vote today and share with your friends on Twitter!

• Some other great news is that our rangers have documented one of our most productive nesting cycles yet. Since our last report, we’ve released 1225 endangered green sea turtles in Ostional and Brasilon beaches, and an additional 700 sea turtles of various species at our nursery at El Coco Beach! The work you generously uplift is making a difference across communities.
• Last year, the sea turtle nursery in Ostional became unsafe for incubating baby turtles. But your generosity helped rebuild a better nursery! It now has a whole new canopy to shield the sand and keep it cool. Walls secure the nests from predators. And rangers can more easily care for the turtle nests, leading to more success and baby sea turtles. 

• To celebrate Earth Day, rangers and Junior Rangers removed trash and plastic debris from six beaches all of last week. The kids' enthusiasm shone brightly as they helped improve turtle nesting habitats, work that you make possible by being a GlobalGiving supporter!

In case you didn’t hear it, Happy Earth Day! We are so inspired by our donors and the passion you have for protecting sea turtles. We hope that you will vote for us on Twitter, and that you will also continue supporting our sea turtle program. Thank you so much!

With enthusiasm,

Sarah
