Overview
Become a part of our small-scale conservation effort on a remote beach in Nicaragua, where sea turtle eggs have been harvested ever since. Local families rely on the income they generate by selling the eggs on the market. That's why we pay for most of the nests we protect in our hatchery.
Our ecologically built infrastructure is located within a virgin beachfront forest adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. We offer a dormitory-style cabin (accommodating a maximum of 4 people) with a shared toilet and shower, as well as a cozy community space with a well-equipped kitchen. Volunteers cook their own breakfast and lunch and enjoy a traditional dinner.
Volunteers do not only help us physically with all the workload, but also financially. The more people come and stay, the more we can protect together! Expect to help with daily chores (such as hatchery management, nest relocation, maintenance, gardening, recycling etc.) as well as with bigger one-time projects. You'll also have the chance to take part in workshops, courses, crafty activities and fun trips. Besides that, we'll give you enough free time to explore and enjoy the surroundings.
