Focused on the protection, conservation and preservation research of the following species:

TAKE A LOOK TO OUR FACILITESFeatures
INNOVATIVE
The program is a pioneer in the implementation of greenhouse incubation pens, using shade mesh to reverse the negative effects caused by climate change or warming of the land that leads to a temperature increase to lethal levels in sea turtle nests.
UNIQUE
Due to Our achievements to date, Playa Caimanero is in the process of being officially declared by the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP), in a natural sea turtle sanctuary.
TRANSCENDENT
Thousands of students from various educational institutions and the general public have been received as part of the environmental education activities carried out by the program.
Results
Thanks to the success of the sea turtle program, Playa Caimanero in Rosario Sinaloa has become the most important beach in northwestern Mexico due to the number of females sea turtles that come to spawn their eggs in the Sinaloa beaches
