Helping nature in Costa Rica

After 9 years it's time for a new sabbitical trip. This time I won't be travelling around the world, but staying for 6 months in Costa Rica, working as a volunteer helping different projects that try to protect and rebuild nature.
The first month I will be helping to inventorise a part of the rainforest on the Caribbean side with an institute that is called study the rainforest (https://studytherainforest.com/)
After that I will be helping to protect the nesting and hatching of seaturtles on the Pacific coast
(https://corcovadofoundation.org/)
Halfway in autumn I start at Resccate wildlife rescue centre
(https://rescatewildlife.org/volunteer-opportunities/)
an institute that rescues and rehabilitates wild animals that are recoverd from captivity, smuggling or found left alone in the forest.
Around Christmas time I will return shortly to the Netherlands to see my family and friends.
From Januari till March I'll be back in Costa Rica, but these months are not exactly planned yet.
I hope you will enjoy the (infrequently appearing) reports and photos I will leave here.
I will be able to read email and receive phone messages now and then so don't hesitate to keep me informed about your life.
