Hello there,

We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season.  This month, help us fund a sea turtle festival in Costa Rica, join us for a unique turtle & whale watching trip in Baja, and help protect Australia's turtles.

Last Chance to Double Your Donation

Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula is home to nesting beaches for olive ridley turtles as well as occasional nesting green turtles, leatherbacks, and hawksbills.  Despite the best efforts of local conservationists, poaching remains a major problem.  To educate residents, Friends of the Osa is holding its annual sea turtle festival. SEE Turtles & Wildland Adventures will match your donation to the festival.  Donate here , only 3 days left!  Learn more here.

Voice Your Support for Australia's Turtles

Australia's government is considering a proposal to build a huge natural gas plant in the Kimberly, an important habitat for sea turtles, whales, and shorebirds.  Join the Sea Turtle Restoration Project and encourage them to protect this unique area.
