Help protect endangered sea turtles in Costa Rica  email this discussion to a friend?

During the last 20 years, 90% of the Pacific Ocean leatherback turtle population disappeared. One of their last refuges is Las Baulas National Marine Park from Costa Rica, where the turtles (only 1000 left) come to lay their eggs. Their fate is to be decided by the Costa Rican government, who is debating either to maintain national park status for Las Baulas or not. Needless to say the downgrading of this area from its present status would be the doom of the leatherback turtles. cry

You can send a message to the Costa Rican government, asking them to think this action very carefully, as they have the fate of this species in their hands. Please do so - it only takes 2 minutes of your time!

Ohhh how terrible. I'll definitely take some time off to send out a letter and also make others aware of this. I've got a number of people in mind who would willingly send a letter in a heartbeat. I went to the Cal Academy of Sciences last weekend - where I found out the California brown bear is now extinct. Made me terribly sad. So hopefully, we'll prevent future extinctions by what you're doing. Thank you!

There's another discussion I've recently started on a similar action aimed to protect the California Desert Tortoise. You can find the discussion on my profile page - I just hope it's not to late to add one more voice supporting these animals.
Thank you for caring!
