"Saving Z. sea turtles" [from poachers]

article + slideshow by a herpetologist from Alabama, USA, who volunteered with Campamento Tortuguero Ayotlcalli en Zihuatanejo in July.
He concludes with "As I reflect on my few days with Campamento Tortuguero Ayoltcalli, I am most impressed with Damaris and her volunteers' dedication – to the turtles and to each other. Damaris created a conservation organization that is working to save sea turtles and inspire the public to help. But she also created a home for her volunteers where they can have a sense of family as well as pride in the great work that they do.
It makes me wonder who is getting the most benefit. Is it the volunteers that are saving the sea turtles or is it the sea turtles that are saving them? Either way, I feel lucky to now be a part of their group, and I look forward to helping them however I can.".

Is the turtle camp referred to the one on Playa Valentin or somewhere else ?
I've liked the Campamento Tortuguero Ayotlcalli on Facebook but does anyone have other information sources besides the archive here which I will check .
Thanks for any input .
