ADOPTIONS

For more than 20 years Centro Ecológico has been protecting nesting and hatching turtles along the shores of Akumal.

 

Your symbolic adoption allows the Sea Turtle Protection Program to continue to patrol the beaches to monitor and protect this endangered and majestic creature.

 

Adoptions/donations charged through this website are processed by CEA's U.S. fiscal sponsor, the Yucatan Environmental Foundation (YEF), and thus are tax deductible in the U.S. You will first receive an order confirmation and then, when your order is processed, a YEF receipt, which you should print for your tax records.
