Conservation is going well!

By Jose Argueta | Executive Director

Building hatchery

It is wonderful to share good news about his project. About 86 people are participating in the conservation of sea turtles in the Isla de Méndez Community. One of the best things is to see how beautiful nature is conserved by the people who benefit from it.

Here are the main activities we have done so far.

A hatchery was built to incubate more than 800 nests of sea turtle eggs
Two Beach Cleanup Campaigns implemented to reduce trash that can affect sea turtles on the beach
76,500 sea turtle eggs incubated in the hatchery
Coordination with authorities to reduce the commercialization of sea turtle eggs on the black market

We continue to work with colleagues in the community to care for the incubated eggs, ensuring they hatch well. It takes from 45 to 50 days for them to hatch, so the next report you will see hatchlings that will go to the ocean.

A big thanks to all of you who always support our efforts for the conservation of sea turtles in El Salvador. We have not met our goal for this year, but we believe we can do it.

Sincerely,

José Argueta
