URGENT: help Save the Leatherback Turtle National Marine Park in Costa Rica

Hi all,

The Leatherback Turtle National Marine Park in Costa Rica is truly the last foothold for leatherback turtles in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, but the ecological integrity of the park is under immediate threat from tourist development. With your help we can convince Costa Rican President Oscar Arias Sánchez to eliminate this threat by proceeding with the expropriation of properties located within the limits of the park.

We have a press conference this Thursday (April 19th) and the more signatures we have by that time, the better!! Don’t let this simple way to help pass you by!!!

Please visit the following page to provide your signature and express your preoccupation to President Arias:
