Support hands on sea turtle conservation

My mission

I'm Ada, a high school student, artist, and environmental advocate from Northern California. I believe protecting the environment starts with small, intentional steps.This past summer, I traveled to Parismina, a rural town on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, with Global Ledership Advetures for a service-learning program. There, I worked with ASTOP(Asociación Salvemos las Tortugas Parismina) to protect nesting sea turtles and their hatchlings.Seeing the conservation work up close changed my perspective. I came home motivated to do more, so I designed stickers to raise money for ASTOP in order to continue my support.
