IFRE’s Top Volunteer Abroad Programs

This Pacuare beach is on the remote Costa Rican black sand coastline near the mouth of river Pacuare. It covers 7,1 km of coastline and is surrounded by rain forest, several coastal lagoons and palm swamp forests near Tortuguero National Park. Fresh water canals and the tropical vegetation in Pacuare provide habitat for not only an abundant quantity of birds and other mammals.

The area is not only unique in every way, but is also a famous nesting site for many Leatherback, Hawksbill and Green sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs during nesting period. Illegal poaching of eggs and hunting the sea turtles, water pollution and beach erosion are threatening the survival of the already critically endangered turtles in Pacuare.

By joining top volunteer sea turtle programs abroad you will play a very important role in changing this situation. Your duties will involve tagging, taking biometry and other important data of the turtle. Together with professional researchers, and former poachers you will be responsible for guarding the nests at the hatchery and releasing baby turtles. Similarly you will help to maintain the rescue center and caring for injured sea turtles.
