Meet Ostional's first turtle hatchlings in 25 years!

For more than two decades, poachers raided every single sea turtle nest on the beach in Ostional, a small fishing village along the Nicaragua's southern Pacific coast.

Determined to change that, we came up with a system of incentive payments to reward individuals for finding, reporting, and protecting turtle nests, and additional incentive payments to reward the community at large for supporting our conservation efforts.

How's that commitment to voluntary solutions working out for us?
