Turtle is an endangered species and if not conserved can soon become extinct. The scientists have predicted that we will forever lose turtles in 20 years unless we preserve the creature and its habitats. Volunteer now in RCDP’s turtle conservation project and protect Lora turtle’s nesting population. Volunteers will protect nests from poachers of all forms, including humans. Our volunteers will also work along side local community and implement many management strategies.
The conservation lacks the manpower to implement many of its strategies and doesn’t have the financial resources to hire staffs to do the job. The project is available year round but the best season is from May until December.
There are no skills required to volunteer in the project. You should however be physically fit as the work can get physically demanding. If you understand Spanish, you’ll be able to communicate with the locals and work more effectively, however knowledge of Spanish isn’t a must.
You’ll p
erform such duties like regular night patrols to check the eggs and turtles coming offshore to hatch. You’ll work in the hatcheries and collect eggs and rescue turtles. You’ll also take carapace and nest-dimension measurements and tag the rear flippers of the turtles.
RCDP will provide from your every need during the project. During the project, you will stay with either in a host family or in a lodge. You will be provided with a separate room but you will have to share bathroom facilities. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide with a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the lifestyle and culture of Costa Rica. You will be served 3 locals meals by the host family. The meals will be prepared hygienically. Our staff will also visit you regularly to check your progress and see if you’re satisfied with the project or not. So you can rest assure that you will be completed looked after while you volunteer in orphanage work project in Costa Rica.
