Don't buy land in the Las Baulas Park

I went to some of the My Space links for the turtles in the Race and found that there were ads there for land in Costa Rica. Must have been placed there by the Ad Spiders- robot programs that seek out key words and place ads accordingly. Then I went to one of the ads and found a listing for a lot on Playa Ventanas that is within Las Baulas Park. Can you imagine that? Real estate people are still trying to sell lots on land that is in the National Park on the last nesting beaches for the leatherback turtle in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. At the same time they are fighting the consolidation of the Park and trying to stop the government from acquiring the land that is in the Park by law!

The turtles really have a tough time with these people. Please do not help cause the extinction of the leatherback turtle. Don't buy land along Playa Grande, Playa Ventanas or Playa Langosta in Costa Rica. Do join the international campaign to save the Park. Go to http://www.seaturtles.org/actionalertdetails.cfm?actionAlertID=126 and get involved.

Thanks
