RESULTS IN THE CONSERVATION OF SEA TURTLES IN BARRA DE SANTIAGO.

Incubation goal in the 2024 season

To this date, 50 community people have been supported by generating green jobs through payment for effort in collecting sea turtle eggs. In addition to helping the community of Barra de Santiago, we are working for the conservation of sea turtles, reaching 55,000 eggs in total from the sea turtle project, having a birth rate of 90% with 49,500 hatchlings to be released.

Environmental education with visitors

Thanks to the conservation work of these species, there are family groups, higher education groups, companies, etc. Who come to our facilities to coordinate activities such as cleaning campaigns to remove plastic waste. To do this, we use technical equipment such as operational personnel, equipment such as vehicles, and containers for collecting solid waste. This allows generating environmental awareness in each of the visiting groups. Mainly to avoid the generation of waste in an uncontrolled manner. Photo 5,6,7,8

 

Thanks to the positive impact that has been had, we have been able to give environmental education talks to schools, universities, private companies, family groups, etc. By improving the conditions of the facilities of our turtle nest collection center, these have allowed people to be more comfortable and can better capture the talks that are given, on the part of BOTH it is about impacting all those people who They need to raise awareness about the protection of natural resources. To date, 25 schools throughout the country, 15 companies and many 125 family groups have been served, making a total of 1,625 people who have visited our facilities and learned about our work.

Purchase of land for construction of operations center AMBAS

 

Thanks to the support provided on this platform, it has been possible to acquire land, which is being paid for in installments, but in the medium term it will be possible to make the operations center of AMBAS, which will have all the basic needs for its operations, such as technical equipment, wildlife health center, receiving visitors, etc. We hope to continue with your valuable support, which is very important to us, and to continue advancing in our work for the conservation of coastal marine resources and support for the sustainable development of human communities in Barra de Santiago.
