El Centro Natural de Selva Verde Saving Rainforests & Sea Turtles

I will never forget seeing the poison dart frogs, Jesus Christ lizards, toucans, barking howler monkeys, or the massive green sea turtles on the beach in Tortuguero. Now when I discuss the rainforest with my students, I can speak about it with passion and first-hand knowledge.
– Rhonda T.
