Thousands of Turtles Video
A sea turtle sanctuary in Costa Rica is under threat from over-development and mass-tourism. This video was created to bring awareness to the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge and the challenges it currently faces. The Wildlife Conservation Association is developing programs to protect sea turtles and other wildlife at this site. Our goal is to unite existing efforts in the community to promote sustainable tourism and development in the area. We are currently raising funds to establish a Center that will house all of these activities.

NOSARA TALKS
The Value of the Ostional Wildlife Refuge:
Connecting the Environment, Community and the Economy
Wanderlust Realty was happy to host Vanessa Bezy for her discussion about what “sustainable” means and the challenges Nosara faces to promote sustainability in the current tourism and development boom. She will use sea turtles as an example of the value of protecting nature and wildlife to the local community and economy. We will cover broader environmental, social, and economic aspects but focus on identifying concrete ways that community members can make a difference in their day-to-day lifestyle to minimize their impact on local wildlife and promote sustainable practices in Nosara.
