Akazul is a British NGO registered in the year 2010. Based along the eastern Pacific coast of Guatemala, on the border with El Salvador, Akazul manages a hatchery project focused for the conservation of sea turtles. Project activities include montirong the nesting beach, research, education and training. These activities are designed to involve the community, preserve important coastal hábitats and species, and promote sustainable use of natural resources on which they depend. Our wide range of community projects seek to balance human and environmental needs and ensure a more sustainable and prosperous future for both. Akazul also works at the national level with government and non-governmental organizations to implement and strengthen the national strategy for the conservation of sea turtles.
