It is thanks to the collaboration of corporate volunteers and the Flaghship Program Tortugas Fundacion Yepez that we reinforce our commitment to the environment by contributing to the preservation and protection of green sea turtles and clean beaches through environmental education. On this occasion, about 60 collaborators and their families managed to reintegrate 300 turtles into their habitat.

“Thanks to nuvoil for granting us the honor of being its Flagship Program, thanks to the support of Verde Balam we were able to patrol more kilometers of beach, thanks to all who have helped with their hands planting trees and picking up trash, to contribute with their grain of sand … because as Nelson Mandela said, “vision without action is only a dream and action without vision is a waste of time but with action and vision the world can be changed,” said Peppi Stunkel, international liaison officer at Fundacion Yepez .
