resources. However, recent studies couldn’t be clearer: our
oceans and the life within must be protected immediately. To find

Conceived from a master's thesis by two visionary students, at UCSD's
Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies,
Pro Peninsula began offering support to organizations throughout

into one of the leading conservation organizations working on the
Baja California peninsula, having implemented and engaged in a range
of projects throughout the region. Pro Peninsula, established as
a 501c3 organization, is lead by a dedicated board with expertise
in science, conservation and advocacy, employs staff members in
both the U.S. and Mexico experienced in international environmental
policy, non-profit management, science, and grassroots conservation
and is supported by an active and dedicated membership. Pro Peninsula
is dedicated to empowering communities and organizations on the
Baja California peninsula to protect and preserve their environment.
Pro Peninsula envisions the creation of a network of strong and

Grupo Tortuguero
Five species of sea turtle inhabit the Eastern Pacific; all are
endangered (IUCN Red List, 2000) and four are ecologically extinct.
Sea turtle mortality is occurring with direct take by poachers who
sell turtle meat and eggs on the black market and by incidental
capture in fishing nets, trawls, and on loglines. While publications
on sea turtle ecology, health and genetics are expanding, few on-the-ground
projects are addressing the main threats to turtle survival. The
Grupo Tortuguero was formed in 1999 to fill this void and recover
Eastern Pacific sea turtle populations. The Grupo Tortuguero is
a network of individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions
from around the world dedicated to sea turtle conservation. We envision
sea turtles fulfilling their ecological roles on a healthy planet
where all people value and celebrate their continued survival. We
empower people and their communities to conserve sea turtles, inspiring
a revolution in our relationship with the ocean. We accomplish this
by building a diverse conservation network to expand knowledge,
develop innovative solutions and share them widely.To find out more,
