Sea Turtle Conservation

[~Rowdy~]

Figured I would throw this up. My friend is trying to help raise a very modest goal of $600 to complete a Sea Turtle Conservation Hatchery Construction project.

I love animals and chose to support this cause. Link's for the donation page and facebook event. Donate if you can.

$600 should be darn easy to get to!

Yeah I wonder if she can up it or if she can just give more money to As Green As It Gets?! I hate spamming people with stuff like this, but it just touched my heart and I love animals so much.

Well, we made the goal of $600! Super easy. This is why I love snowmobilers. They support causes and the environment. Such a great community to be a part of. Love it.

One hour and goal met. That is awesome.

 

[~Rowdy~]

I told her that she should double her goal and we can build 2 hatcheries! $1200 isn't a lot of money to do something that can have a big impact on the environment, species and eco system.

I hope she does it, and I hope the snowmobiling community continues to show why it's one of the best sports and communities to be involved in.

 

[~Rowdy~]

She raised her goal to $1000!

Let's help her and the little turtles get there!!!

 

[~Rowdy~]

She's at $730 now!! Just $270 to go!!!

Here's a few pictures of the hatchery. Thanks to anyone who donated. They are just waiting on the turtles to hatch then releasing them safely!

So I attempted to translate the captions in the pictorial above, anyone that actually knows Spanish please help out, as some of the words don’t fit or look right, maybe I didn’t spell them correct, as some are hard to read…..

We make annual donations to the puerto vallarta sea turtle cause..... Awesome feeling helping the big turtles and helping to release the baby turtles.... ... and it's amazing that only 1 in about 1000 actually make it to maturity

When I first read the title I thought it said sea turtle conversation. I thought......thats crazy. You cant have a conversation with a sea turtle. At least not a very good one.

Conservation makes a lot more sense.
