PROTECTING ENDANGERED TURTLES

At Colibri Boutique Hotels, we are deeply committed to the conservation of sea turtles, all of which are now classified as vulnerable or endangered despite being protected by federal laws and international agreements. We proudly support the "Kanan Aak" Sea Turtle Protection Program in Tulum, which is dedicated to giving these magnificent creatures the best possible start in life. Their aim is to give the turtles who hatch in Tulum the best chance of survival. In coordination with our hotels, they patrol the beaches each night of the nesting season, marking nests and moving eggs to a secure location if the nest is too exposed. Then when the eggs hatch, they help the little guys get safely to the water. Beyond our on-the-ground efforts, Colibri Boutique Hotels plays a pivotal role in the Municipal Committee of Sea Turtles. We are honored to serve as the coordinator and lead the Education Committee of this important body. Through this role, we foster community awareness and engagement in protecting our local wildlife. Our long-standing contributions include funding for patrol staff and providing essential quad bike transportation, enabling them to perform their invaluable conservation work efficiently.
