All year round we dedicate time and resources to training our valuable Research Assistants.
We currently have participants from Spain 🇪🇸 , Canada 🇨🇦, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, USA 🇺🇸 , Brazil 🇧🇷 , Colombia 🇨🇴 and UK 🇬🇧 !

A multi skilled, multinational team!

We have been travelling a bumpy road for the last year, and it's not over yet.
All volunteers are received with strict sanitary protocols, to protect them, our staff and our communities.

We had an excellent monitoring day with our #airbnbexperiences guests!
We caught a juvenile critically endangered Hawksbill turtle of 50cm carapace length. It already had been tagged and microchipped.
