About the local hosting organization
Vive Mexico has been organizing this workcamp regularly in Rincon de
Guayabitos, Nayarit since 2014. The main achievement of the project is to
protect the sea turtles with the help of volunteers who will be cooperating with
a team of biologists. Up to now, the project has been quite successful and has
reached extraordinary results. Participating in sea turtle conservation is a great
opportunity to discover the rather charming life of sea turtles.
Presentation of the program
Based on the time of the year the volunteers will be working during the day or
at night in the months of August and September from 20:00 to 08:00.
Depending on the number of turtles that come ashore, two teams might be
formed among the volunteers. In this way, each group will be taking turns,
working one night, and taking the next night off for recovery.
In addition, the weekends are also spared for resting. Some of the activities to
be performed are:
1.Finding adult turtles and collecting their eggs.
2.Moving the eggs to a protected place called Vivero.
3.Releasing newborn baby turtles into the sea.
4.Patrolling the beaches at night.
5.Making some reconstruction in the most important turtle camps of the
region.
Please consider that the schedule is subject to change depending on the
weather conditions and the condition of the sea turtles and it is possible to
work with crocodiles in case there is no work with turtles, this can happen
mostly in the months of January and February.
The coordinator or the camp leader will be informing you regarding your work
schedule.
