Protection of the environment and animal species

Volunteer activities in Costa Rica are focused on the study and conservation of the turtles in Ostional, whose beaches are affected by the phenomenon of “arribadas”. You will patrol the beaches at night to assist the turtles during egg-laying. The beach patrol shifts do not require specific skills; it will be enough to rely on the local staff and be willing to walk for kilometers, illuminated only by the moon. You will also protect smaller turtles: depending on the season, you can locate nests by assisting the staff in marking and identification operations. You will witness the hatching of eggs, ensuring that the newly born hatchlings reach the ocean. Your contribution will also be crucial in cleaning Ostional beach by removing plastic and generally protecting the Costa Rican ecosystem.

VOLUNTEER QUOTES

“The experience I had in Costa Rica enriched me and made me live moments that I will not forget.

Stepping out of your comfort zone is easier than it seems, and the feeling of fulfillment I brought home far exceeded my expectations. Pura Vida!”
