program consists of featuring specific artists for a period
of 2 months.
The featured artist for August and September is Jeannette
Sanchez M. Jeannette paints realism. She was born and
raised in San Jose. She has shown in countries such as

colors are always alive and vibrant.

BAULA TURTLES. PLAYA GRANDE, GUANACASTE
The Baula
Turtle has inhabited the oceans for more than
a hundred tousand years, surviving through the extinction
of the dinasours. These magnifcent creatures are the largest
reptiles in the world.
Years ago, the
Baula would make their nests year after year on the coasts
of the Pacific Ocean, but that has now all changed. The
consumption of their eggs, the destruction of their beaches
due to development and the elevating mortality rate due
to commercial fishing has reduced the population by 95%
in the last 20 years. In 1995, the Marino Las Baulas park
(PNMB) in Playa Grande, Guanacaste, was created to secure
the survival of the Baulas, making this nesting beach
the most important on the Pacific coast in the Americas.
20 years ago in Playa Grande, the baula population was
about 1500, but today there are only between 50 and 100
turtles and current real estate development poses a great
threat.
Presently, 75 of the 125 meters of PNMB park are still
in the hands of foreign developers after the Ministry
of Justice of the Republic had ruled to give the land
back to the park (C 444-2005) and that MINAE should proceed
eith the expropriation and
return the land to the park.
The Baulas need the costaricans to come together and defend
the Marino Las Baulas Park because the beach should belong
to the Baulas and the park to everyone.
