Explore with Purpose. Join wildlife research expeditions for rare insider access to the natural world—and a real role in protecting it.
At Las Baulas National Marine Park, Earthwatch Expeditions supports long-term research focused on understanding and protecting one of the world's most endangered sea turtle populations. With Eastern Pacific leatherbacks having declined by more than 90% since 1980, scientists monitor nesting females, protect vulnerable nests, track hatchling success, and study juvenile turtles in coastal waters.
The return of these turtles is a reminder that conservation happens over decades—and that long-term research is essential to understanding what works. https://bit.ly/4uVtKQe
