The Colola Proyecto de Tortugas will continue its vital nest protection and monitoring work, which has helped to dramatically increase the once-failing population of black (green) sea turtles and to unite the communities of Colola, Maruata, and others around sea turtle conservation in the state of Michoacán.

Donations from the Mast family, Russell Mittermeier (Re:wild), and Gail Evenari (Maiden Voyage Productions) supported this important initiative in Mexico.
