Fundación Yepez A.C. (the Yepez Foundation A.C.) is a non-governental
organization, dedicated to the conservation and protection of sea
turtles, the environment. We initiate and fulfill and conservation
projects, community projects, mangrove and endemic tree reforestation
and organize projects such as beach clean ups. All of our projects are
implemented through methods that are sustainable and environmentally
friendly . Our main objective is the protection and conservation of sea
turtles on the Gulf coast of Veracruz in Mexico. We patrol a total of 43
km each day and night to protect and care for sea turtles that come to
lay their eggs on our sanctuary. The nests that are found in dangerous
areas are oved to safety and protected until they hatch. This way we can
help protect this endangered species. There is perhaps no creature
more global than the sea turtle, with a shared responsibility of people
all over the world. Traveling across all the great oceans, they lay
their eggs on beaches around the world. The small baby turtles emerge
from the sand on these shores, and if they are lucky enough to reach
adulthood, they embark on journeys that mark thousands of miles and many
international waters. We invite you to come visit us to learn about the
work we do, about the turtles and to help us protect our environment.
We invite you to visit us to learn about the work we do and to learn
about the last dinosaurs on our planet earth - the sea turtles. We
invite you to become a part of our project and to help us care for our
beautiful blue planet.  |
