MARAPA

This NGO knows how to put ecotourism at the service of conservation and nature protection. The team organizes some tourist excursions, but today it is mainly dedicated to artisanal fishing. It is possible to accompany guides and to see the sea turtles, during the period of laying and the release of the eggs. The Ecolodge Jalé, in Praia Jalé, is managed by this entity. It is a privileged observation site for leatherback turtles and mangroves. All profits are used to finance their conservation projects.
