How Can I Help With an Adoption?

By donating $100 you can adopt a leatherback turtle to help protect endangered sea turtles. Your donation will be used to provide essential support of a particular project working in the area.

Your donation will be used to:

• buy essential field equipment, such as flipper tags and tag applicators;
• purchase materials to build hatcheries for relocated eggs;
• pay guards' salaries; and
• construct a new sea turtle education center.
  

And why stop there? Our special fundraising packs can help your class or activity group aim for whatever target sum they wish to reach and contribute even more to conservation efforts in Costa Rica.

By donating $100, you'll receive:

• The one year adoption of an adult female sea turtle, with the option of extending;
• An official certificate of adoption of your turtle;
• Information on your turtle's size & tag numbers;
