Maire-Claire Walsh, 2010 Travel Award winner to Mexico, hard at work in the turtle preservation project in the beach village of La Ventanilla.
The co-operative project in the beach village of La Ventanilla in Oaxaca State was set up to stop the killing and selling of turtles and their eggs and has grown in to a sustainable development project which generates alternative sources of income for the 25 families who live in the community.
