Mi Casa Hostel - Importance of Recycling

Thu, 12/22/2011 - 17:07 | Karina

Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in which we live.

Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We must act fast as the amount of waste we create is

increasing all the time.

What is Recycling?

Recycling is the process of making or manufacturing new products from a product that has originally served its purpose.

If these used products are disposed of in an appropriate, environmentally friendly way, the process of recycling has been set in motion.

Leatherback nesting season already started at Mi Casa Hostel El Manglar!!!

Thu, 09/15/2011 - 00:01 | Karina

Nesting Season, October 1st till the end of February!

The Las Baulas National Park on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where Mi Casa Hostel Hotel El Manglar is located, is one of the world's few remaining sites of significant leatherback turtle nesting activity. The numbers of these giant, marine reptiles are declining world-wide and they have disappeared completely from many historically important nesting areas. Various human activities including beachside development, poaching of eggs and accidental capture by fishing vessels have driven the species close to extinction. The Las Baulas (Spanish for Leatherback turtle) project in Costa Rica is dedicated to protecting and understanding the population of turtles nesting in the National Park so that the species may be saved.

Leatherback sea turtles are the largest living marine reptiles and live almost their entirelives at sea. The only times that they are on land is when the female turtles lay eggs, and when hatchlings emerge from the nest and make their way to ocean. We estimate that they are sexually mature at about 10 years or age and may to live to be 40 years old. Studying their biology is very difficult due to the nature of their intermittent visits to land, juvenile and male turtles are almost never seen at all. Consequently, most studies and protection efforts have focused on nesting females and hatchlings.
