Resimar is a project that takes an exceptional holistic approach. During my time volunteering, I had continuous opportunities to interact and learn about turtles through night patrols and assisting with turtle liberation efforts, along with doing desk work. Additionally, I was able to discover other projects like the permaculture farm at Playa the shelter, interacted with local children during game evenings, participated in trash cleaning initiatives, and experienced the incredible kindness of the locals.
