The Endangered Wildlife Trust is a British registered charity established in 1989 specifically to purchase 800 hectares of tropical rainforest on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. This became the Pacuare Nature Reserve.
The reserve is rich in wildlife but its special mission has been to protect the critically endangered Leatherback Turtles which nest along its 6 kms. of beach.
More recently, Leatherback Turtle projects were started near Bocas in neighbouring Panama where the need for protection is even greater.
We have active volunteer programmes for all sites. Turtle Volunteeers can easily combine all beaches in one conservation experience. Please click on Costa Rica and Panama to the left to find out more. Click on Latest news for our news items.
