Check out the work being done by the 2010 Goldman Environmental Prize winner here. He is amazing - after helping get protection for his beloved sea turtles, he has turned to helping ban shark finning and is taking on shrimp trawlers and tuna farming as well. He is inspiring and incredible. You can adopt a shark or sea turtle at the site and take part in helping save the creatures of the sea. I heard an interview with him on The Story yesterday and am enthralled. Having visited Costa Rica - and Tortuguero National Park - I *get* what he's talking about and am amazed at his energy, enthusiasm, pragmatism, and compassion.
