COPROT - Tortugas de Osa are a community-led conservation association that aims to integrate local residents in the conservation of the Osa Peninsula, & more specifically the sea turtle nesting beaches of Rio Oro & Carate. We supported their project with US $10,000 for this year.
We will be joining our local Osa cooperative beach clean-up on Saturday, Jan 15th at Playa Preciosa. We invite any locals to join our team. This beach clean-up is organized by COPROT - Tortugas de Osa, an organization that protects endangered turtles & their nesting environments.
