Save The Turtles

Our Mission

Save the Turtles, Inc. is dedicated to protecting sea turtles in critical habitat areas by awarding grants to community-based programs, assisting with salaries for the locals who patrol the beach at night protecting nesting turtles from poachers. Our organization is small and we are all volunteers, so our donations we receive are streamlined to worthy conservation projects, mostly in Costa Rica although we have financially assisted in the rescue of sea turtles in emergency situations such as the BP oil spill in the U.S. We value the donor’s intent—the money designated to saving sea turtles--and believe in a minimal overhead/administrative cost.
