First release of rescued baby turtles 2021

Announcing the first release of rescued baby turtles this 2021 season at the Tapiche Reserve!

These baby turtles were amongst the first that hatched from the eggs we rescued this year, and they are strong enough now to begin their lives in the wild at the Tapiche Reserve, Peru. Good luck, babies!

Our work at the Tapiche Reserve is far from over--we still have more than 7,000 turtle hatchlings in our nursery requiring daily feeding and maintenance. Donations from now through January will go specifically towards fostering these baby turtles until they are ready to strike out on their own in the wild. Donations of USD 15 or more will receive a digital 2021 Tapiche Turtle Hero certificate, and donations of USD 50 or more will get the certificate as well as a personal video greeting filmed right at the Tapiche Reserve. USD 15 is enough to foster 5 baby turtles. Makes a great last-minute holiday gift for a nature lover!

To become a 2021 Tapiche Turtle Hero, make your donation on our GoFundMe page (https://gofund.me/de48de64) or by sending funds to our Paypal tapichejungle@gmail.com, just be sure to mark the "sending money to family and friends" option so that Paypal doesn't take a big bite out of your donation before it gets to us. Make a note on your payment of whose name we should put on the certificate, or send us a note via email tapichejungle@gmail.com

Profound thanks to all of our Tapiche family and friends who have helped us survive these past couple of years. We couldn't do this work without you!
