SEA TURTLES OF COSTA RICA
For centuries, sea turtles have migrated to the shores of Costa Rica to nest on the same beaches where they were born. Ancient Mayans paid homage to a Great Turtle Mother that guided them home each year to give life to the next generation. Over the past three decades, habitat destruction, commercial fishing, pollution, and egg poaching have decimated sea turtle populations once numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Once plentiful in the Eastern Pacific, four out of five turtle species have been reduced to only a few thousand today, and even those are disappearing fast. The loss of sea turtles would have far-reaching consequences for our oceans, jeopardizing the very food chain we depend on for survival. This might be our last opportunity to prevent an avoidable man-made environmental disaster.
