What we do?
Tortugas de Isla Damas is a non profit conservation organization that works to protect the nesting populations of Kemp's ridley sea turtles on Isla Damas.

Our mission
Nesting turtle populations are endangered because they are both threatened by poachers and natural predators. The numbers of turtle of this species is rapidly declining and it is important to protect them before they disappear. Our mission is also to start working on the manglar preservation mainly by planting and cleaning the area. 

Who we are
We are a local family who really care about nature, animals and especially turtles. That's why we have decided to create this project in the amazing Isla Damas place. We are surrounded by nature and very close to the sea. The beach is 6 km long, so we have lot of work taking care of this place and protecting the nesting turtles. We started for 3 years working just between us to collect eggs on the beach to protect them on a hatchery until they born, but there was too much work so we started ask for help and welcome volunteers. We live and work on a sustainable way in order to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem.

You know that immersive, local experience that’s the reason why you travel at all? It’s right here. You know that long, beautiful stretch of beach you’ve always dreamt of? Palm-rimmed, with beautiful sunsets, and practically empty? That’s right here too. And your nice, clean, ...

Meine 2 Wochen hier waren richtig schön! Wir waren zwar nicht sehr viele Volunteers aber dadurch ist man in dem Projekt stark involviert und kann überall mithelfen. Vor allem ist man den Schildkröten immer ganz nah was so spannend ist. Milo und seine Familie sind so nett und kümmern sich sehr ...

This was a really great and grounding experience. Milo and his family try to make you feel like home and also Milo will show you everything he knows about turtles. I've seen and learnt so much in these 10 days. I loved the place because it was calm, beautiful and full of great people. It will be an ...
