| 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.
