Si eres un lector habitual de este blog (\u00a1gracias!), sabr\u00e1s que me gustan *un poco* las aves, por lo que es comprensible que supongas que la gran diversidad de especies de aves en Costa Rica fue lo que me atrajo inicialmente a este pa\u00eds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a1Sorpresa! No eran p\u00e1jaros, sino tortugas marinas.<\/p>

Durante mi primer a\u00f1o de universidad, escuch\u00e9 (y me horroric\u00e9) la estad\u00edstica de que solo tres de cada cien cr\u00edas de tortuga marina sobreviven hasta la edad adulta. Sus probabilidades son desfavorables debido a muchos factores, desde los depredadores hasta la contaminaci\u00f3n. Me doli\u00f3 un poco reconocer que entre sus depredadores hay aves como las rapaces, que pueden disfrutar de un bocado f\u00e1cil al cazar una tortuga diminuta y vulnerable que corretea por la arena entre el lugar de la playa donde acaba de nacer y las olas del gran oc\u00e9ano azul que la atraen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Pero eso es parte del ciclo de la vida; lo que m\u00e1s me doli\u00f3 fue enterarme de la cantidad de tortugas marinas que ni siquiera llegan a la etapa de correr por la arena debido a la pesca ilegal de huevos de tortuga. Es un desaf\u00edo que Costa Rica, as\u00ed como muchos otros pa\u00edses de esta regi\u00f3n, han tenido que enfrentar, dando lugar a asociaciones sin fines de lucro como PRETOMA (Programa de Restauraci\u00f3n de Tortugas Marinas). Para cumplir con su objetivo de \u201cproteger, conservar y restaurar las poblaciones de tortugas marinas que utilizan el entorno marino de Costa Rica para anidar, alimentarse o migrar\u201d, PRETOMA cre\u00f3 oportunidades de empleo y voluntariado en un pueblo costero del sur llamado Punta Banco para patrullar las playas todas las noches, documentar la actividad de anidaci\u00f3n de las tortugas y trasladar los huevos de tortuga a un criadero protegido.<\/p>

Al conocer el mandato de PRETOMA, mi misi\u00f3n personal qued\u00f3 clara: viajar a Costa Rica y colaborar como voluntaria en su proyecto. Y tuve la suerte de poder compartir la aventura con una amiga muy especial, Nina Dobbin.<\/p>

As\u00ed que, aunque quiz\u00e1s hayas pensado que el blog de hoy estaba dedicado \u00fanicamente a las tortugas, \u00a1te sorprender\u00e9 de nuevo! Est\u00e1 escrito en honor a Nina, con quien tambi\u00e9n comparto una larga historia de colaboraci\u00f3n en iniciativas de educaci\u00f3n ambiental. Antes de trabajar como voluntaria para PRETOMA en 2004, Nina y yo hab\u00edamos organizado eventos de la \u201cSemana de la Tierra\u201d en nuestra escuela secundaria de North Vancouver; hicimos divulgaci\u00f3n ambiental en escuelas primarias locales; y lanzamos \u201cWavemakers\u201d, que era nuestra miniorganizaci\u00f3n ambiental destinada a generar \u201colas positivas\u201d en nuestra comunidad. Para hacerlo, ejecutamos planes de acci\u00f3n y cronogramas detallados con precisi\u00f3n militar que, en retrospectiva, fueron bastante impresionantes para dos adolescentes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Actualmente, Nina trabaja como epidemi\u00f3loga para Health Canada y ha realizado importantes investigaciones sobre los efectos de la contaminaci\u00f3n del aire en la salud. Actualmente, trabaja en el desarrollo de un sistema nacional de vigilancia de informaci\u00f3n sobre intoxicaciones y se convirti\u00f3 en miembro de la Junta Directiva de la Asociaci\u00f3n Ambiental Finca C\u00e1ntaros.<\/p>

\u00a1Y ella es la primera amiga de Canad\u00e1 que se enfrenta al complicado panorama de viajes de la era del Covid para venir a visitar a su familia!<\/p>

Nina y yo estamos muy emocionadas de volver a reunirnos despu\u00e9s de habernos visto por \u00faltima vez hace m\u00e1s de dos a\u00f1os, y sentimos nostalgia por nuestra primera vez aqu\u00ed en Costa Rica hace casi veinte a\u00f1os. Adem\u00e1s de compartir ese viaje que me cambi\u00f3 la vida y ayudarme a desarrollar habilidades de planificaci\u00f3n de proyectos que siguen siendo \u00fatiles para m\u00ed, he estado pensando en todas las formas en que estoy muy agradecida con Nina por una amistad que me ha inspirado a seguir luchando por el planeta y me ha apoyado emocionalmente durante todos los altibajos de ese trabajo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Adem\u00e1s de estos viajes metaf\u00f3ricos al pasado, espero que Nina y yo podamos hacer uno literal a las hermosas playas de Punta Banco, donde una vez buscamos tortugas marinas. Y, como me gustan *un poco* las aves, donde Nina una vez sonri\u00f3 pacientemente a pesar de mis espasmos de alegr\u00eda por mi primer avistamiento de espectaculares guacamayos rojos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
