The volunteer program of Las Baulas Conservation Project is done through the EARTHWATCH Institute

Work done by Volunteers
Volunteers spend most of their time in the field with the field staff and graduate students. Volunteers assist in almost all areas of the project work , including collection of data on turtles each night, relocation of nests and preparation of equipment as required. Volunteers are supervised by biologists and given training on site. The work is very "hands on" and involves close contact with the leatherback turtles. Volunteers generally do not have particular biological knowledge and so the project is both rewarding and educational.
