Real changes

I am a marine biologist volunteering with Kido Foundation, my review is made based on the perspective of someone who has been working and volunteering in several projects in four "undeveloped" countries with coral reefs, reef fish, research fisheries, whale sharks and grate mantas, nurse and black tip sharks, sea turtles, mangroves, Mayan and Maldivian comunities.

The KIDO Ecological Station is a place for those willing to make real changes right now. They have several ongoing projects, the turtle project is the one I have been part of the most and the positive impact this work is making with the two most endangered sea turtle species in the world is remarkable, you can see it immediately, the hatchling rates are very high and the numbers of nesting turtles are consistent every season. The two directors of the station, Marina and Dario have a real commitment with all the programs they are running and you can tell the love and passion they have in everything they do, they are people from whom one can learn. KIDO is a place for those who want to do real conservation living in a place surrounded by nature, it is for those who can appreciate wildlife more than their own self. I can say the installations and rooms are some of the best I have lived in so far, and they have the biggest swimming pool in the world full of marine wildlife just a few steps down the forested hill of the property. I am very grateful for the opportunity of being here learning from and contributing to this project, this place and interacting with the personnel at KIDO.
