Sayulita Turtle Camp

May

During the last week of May, an impactful event called “Guardians of Water” took place at the Guadalajara Zoo. In this event, children from different Mexican states had the chance to camp for a week and share experiences about the importance of environmental conservation. 1000 Caguamas played a key role by collaborating and supporting this initiative.

Sayulita is not only a globally renowned beach for surfing and partying, but also a significant nesting site for sea turtles. This season, we helped equip the camp with essential tools for its operation. The support kit included:
