The World's Best Place to SEE Leatherback Turtles Trinidad is a unique Caribbean island full of culture and beauty. It is also probably the best place to see giant leatherback turtles, with up to 500 turtles nesting per night! Our trips benefit local turtle conservation programs. We have three ways to witness this incredible act of nature: Trinidad's Wild Side: Turtle nesting, birdwatching, and more. $2,250 pp / March - July Trinidad & Tobago: Turtles, rainforest hikes, kayaking, and snorkeling. $3,050 pp / March - July Trinidad Leatherback Research: Join Earthwatch for a leatherback turtle volunteer expedition. $2,795 pp / March - July
Protect Turtles By Ending Oil Company Tax Breaks The US government subsidizes oil drilling that harms sea turtles, dophins, and other marine wildlife. Click here to let your representative know that you support cuts in subsidies to oil companies that have record profits.
Return of the Black Turtle Black turtles (a sub-population of green turtles) were once nearly extinct in Western Mexico. However, a dedicated group of scientists, fishermen, and others have helped bring this turtle back from the brink. Our friend, Neil Osborne (who has taken most of our great photos) is raising money to tell this inspiring story. Will you join us in supporting his work?
