 Sea Turtle Conservation Work in Tortuguero Threatened due
to COVID-19
Sea Turtle Conservancy’s research and conservation program at Tortuguero, Costa Rica,
is a conservation success story. When STC’s founder Dr. Archie Carr first arrived at the
site in the 1950s, the green turtle population was in drastic decline—slipping toward
extinction—due to the unsustainable harvesting of nesting turtles. Over the next six
decades, a sustained research, education and conservation program has been carried
out by STC, in close partnership with the community of Tortuguero and the Government
of Costa Rica. Through the combined efforts of everyone involved, the unsustainable
harvesting of sea turtles was eliminated and replaced with a local economy built on
ecotourism. Once protected, the turtles responded by recovering to the point of being
the largest remaining colony of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in the Western
Hemisphere (and probably the world), and STC’s program at Tortuguero has become a
global model for how sea turtles can be saved. Unfortunately, a situation is unfolding in
Tortuguero due to COVID-19 that jeopardizes much of the success that has been
achieved to recover this globally-important sea turtle population.

Because Costa Rica’s borders are closed to foreign visitors for the foreseeable future,
nearly all of STC’s international Research Assistants, who assist with carrying out our
research and protection program, are unable to get to Tortuguero. Even if the borders
open later this summer, most of our previously-committed volunteers have had to
make other plans. As a result, STC’s small crew of staff members in Tortuguero have
been thrust onto the front lines of wildlife protection, performing tasks that once were
carried out by a team of 25 people. STC also has seen the complete loss of revenue we
count on from our Visitors’ Center gift shop and an eco-volunteer program we normally
conduct at our research station. Meanwhile, the presence of Costa Rican law
enforcement on the beach at Tortuguero has dwindled significantly, at the same time
the threat of illegal poaching is skyrocketing due to the collapse of ecotourism in the
country. Without the typical presence of park guards, tour groups and tourists on the
beach in Tortuguero, STC is documenting significant increases in illegal poaching of
adult turtles and nests. This alarming trend, combined with the complete lack of
revenue being generated in Tortuguero, is STC’s biggest programmatic challenge
resulting from the pandemic.
Our staff members are working overtime day and night to deter poachers from killing
turtles as they crawl ashore to nest, and we are doing our best to hide nests in order to
protect the eggs from being taken. While the calamity unfolding in Tortuguero is not on
the same level as what has been confronting healthcare and other front-line workers
serving people in the US and abroad, STC’s dedicated staff Tortuguero is manning the
front line of defense on behalf of imperiled sea turtles that are under greater threat
because of the impacts of the pandemic.
In honor of World Sea Turtle Day (June 16), a date selected because it is Archie Carr’s
birthday, STC asks for your support. Please help us sustain the critical work taking place
in Tortuguero to ensure that the incredible progress made on behalf of sea turtles over
the last six decades is not jeopardized as a result of this pandemic. Your donation will
directly support STC’s ability to hire additional Costa Ricans to fill the void created by
our lack of international volunteer Research Assistants. Donations will also be matched
up to $5,000 through June 16.

This need is urgent and timely, as green turtle nesting is now underway. A single season
of rampant poaching of adult turtles can severely jeopardize the recovery of green
turtles at Tortuguero—one of the world’s great conservation success stories. With your
help, we will have the ability to ensure that this does not happen.
