| 7th Annual Meeting of the Grupo Tortuguero |
 |
The 7th Annual Meeting of the Grupo Tortuguero (GT7) was held January 28-30, 2005 in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The theme of this year’s meeting - ¡Revolución Tortuguera! - reflects the mission of the Grupo Tortuguero to empower people and their communities to conserve sea turtles, inspiring a revolution in our relationship with the ocean. The meeting has grown from a small gathering of 45 peninsula residents who wanted to save sea turtles in 1999, to the region’s premiere grassroots conservation meeting with over 300 people participating this year. Highlights of the meeting include the first Encuentro para Niños and the Seri community of Sonora and the Nahuatl community of Colola, Michoacan receiving the Don Manuel Orantes Conservation Award. GT7 would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors and the tireless efforts of our volunteers- we thank you! For a list of all sponsors, participating communities, as well as the titles and summaries for all presentations, documentaries and workshops, please contact Pro Peninsula to request a copy of the conference proceedings. |
