🌌 Many Comcaac community members are experts on the ecological dynamics of sea turtles. Today, because of intensive fishing pressures, the endangered status of these species is recognized by local communities, and sea turtle conservation initiatives have taken root. 🐢 🐚 We support the Grupo Tortuguero Comcaac, a local conservation organization that works to protect endangered turtle species on the Comcaac people’s ancestral coastline. 🐾🏝 💚 The Grupo Tortuguero Comcaac is primarily composed of local Comcaac youth, who focus on the conservation of three species: olive ridley, green and leatherback sea turtles across 20 kilometers of desert coastline. ⏩ To learn more about this initiative, check out our Ancestral Tides page and video through the link in our bio. 📸: Francisco Barnett, a Comcaac community member by @panthera_juanca #climatecrisis #oceanconservation #oceanlife #marinelife #nature #saveourseas
