Dear friends,

We want to share good news about our project for the period of 2025! It was a wonderful year because we had the support of some volunteers in the community. Here is an update on the project:

80 volunteers of the Isla de Mendez community participated in all project activities to meet the conservation objectives
80 nests incubated
80,287 sea turtle eggs collected
79,537 juveniles released to the ocean
4 beach cleanup campaings were implemented to keep the nesting areas clean

Along with the releasing activities, we share with visitors why it is important to conserve sea turtles and other species that serve as a balance for the ocean.

For this year, our goal is to start a process of community tourism, which will allow tourists learn about the importance of sea turtle conservation while they support the project. Also, this initiative will support some local businesses in the community and other economic chains.

We thank all of you for your generous contribution to this project and hope to continue working this year to conserve more sea turtles and develop the community.

Sincerely,

Collecting eggs
