Fundación Yepez is a Mexican NGO dedicated to sea turtle conservation and environmental education as well as many other projects all designed to care for our beautiful blue planet. Our main activity is the conservation and protection of sea turtles, which return to the same place where they were born, to nest 20 to 30 years later. Only the females come back to land when they reach their reproductive age and only one in 10,000 hatchlings survive to adulthood. Sea turtles have lived on this planet for more than 150 million years. Of the seven species of sea turtles in the world, five species lay their eggs on the Gulf Coast of Mexico; the Kemp´s Ridley, the Green turtle, the Loggerhead, the Hawksbill and the Leatherback. Apart from our sea turtle conservation work, we protect the environment in many sustainable ways, such as through eco-tourism, intelligent reforestation, community programs, recycling programs, beach clean-ups, environmental events and especially through environmental education.
