The Ecological Group of Nayarit (Grupo Ecologistas de Nayarit) , AC and Turtle Camp El Naranjo have organized the second Marine Turtle Expo in Puerto Vallarta from the 28th  to 29th of July.

The objective is that the local population and its visitors aknowledge more information about these marine creatures that are in danger of extinction.

If you are interested, you can visit the expo in Plaza Caracol just under the cinemas, where you will be able to interact with the volunteers that will be glad to answer your questions. You can learn more about the seven different types of marine turtles that nest on Mexican beaches and how a turtle camp like this one works. You’ll also have the opportunity of viewing information rich videos and if you bring your kids with you, they’ll be encouraged to participate in recreational and educational activities.

The Turtle Camp “El Naranjo” has been around for over 10 years now and has been able to work its conservation and ambient education programs thanks to donations and help from dozens of volunteers in Mexico and around the world. You can help too! Give a gift to nature by buying a little turtle toy and receive a certificate of turtle adoption or buying a “T”urtle –shirt. Your participation helps these organizations to save hundreds of little turtle babies that could not make it without help this year.
