What we do?
Tortugas de Isla Damas is a non profit conservation organization that works to protect the nesting populations of Kemp's ridley sea turtles on Isla Damas.

Our mission
Nesting turtle populations are endangered because they are both threatened by poachers and natural predators. The numbers of turtle of this species is rapidly declining and it is important to protect them before they disappear. Our mission is also to start working on the manglar preservation mainly by planting and cleaning the area. 

Who we are
We are a local family who really care about nature, animals and especially turtles. That's why we have decided to create this project in the amazing Isla Damas place. We are surrounded by nature and very close to the sea. The beach is 6 km long, so we have lot of work taking care of this place and protecting the nesting turtles. We started for 3 years working just between us to collect eggs on the beach to protect them on a hatchery until they born, but there was too much work so we started ask for help and welcome volunteers. We live and work on a sustainable way in order to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem.
