Hello there,

This month, enter to win a free Wildlife Tour to Nicaragua, help save turtles from trawl fishing, learn about the life cycle of sea turtles, and join us for a unique sailing tour to British Columbia.

Win A Free Trip to Nicaragua!

We are excited to announce another sweepstakes, this time to win a free Sea Turtle & Birdwatching Tour to Nicaragua! All you have to do is sign up for our new SEEtheWILD enewsletter here. One entry per person, 21 years and over. Other prizes include Endangered Species Chocolate, shirts, and more.

Help Protect Loggerheads From Trawl Fishing

Numbers of nesting loggerhead turtles in the Southeast US have dropped 40% over the past decade.  One of their biggest threats is trawl fisheries, which kills thousands of turtles each year.  Please help our friends at Sea Turtle Restoration Project encourage NMFS to increase protections for these turtles.

Learn About the Turtle Life Cycle

Sea turtles have developed a fascinating way of surviving over the past 100 million years.  Learn about hatchlings emerging from the nest, the "lost years" of juvenile turtles , to migrating thousands of miles to return to their original beach as adult turtles.

Spirit of the Great Bear Rainforest

Over on our new SEEtheWILD website, we have a unique sailing trip along the coast of British Columbia run by our friends at Maple Leaf Adventures.  While you won't see turtles on this trip, you're likely to see grizzlies, orcas, and many other animals.  Learn more and request information here.

Happy Spring!
