Sponsor a Turtle more information

Every night of nesting season, EPI participants patrol the beach in partnership with Pacuare’s researchers. After nine years of these patrols, less than 10% of the eggs are illegally harvested from the beach. We cannot save Leatherbacks alone. Sponsoring a turtle ensures these nightly patrols continue and local residents are involved in the conservation solution.
By sponsoring a Leatherback sea turtle through EPI, you can participate in the protection of a living dinosaur. Consider extending this gift to loved ones!
Conservation Club more information

Protecting ecologically important ecosystems requires dedication. When you make a monthly commitment to EPI through our Conservation Club, EPI students, scientists and staff can remain focused on critical conservation priorities.

Students Empowering Students more information
Through our Students Empowering Students in Conservation or SESIC, U.S. alumni help raise money to support their Latin American peers. It’s a great way for our alumni to stay connected to EPI, their Latin American friends, and continue to take an active role in conservation.
Swift Capital Campaign more information
As testament to its success, EPI recently purchased the historic Swift Building in downtown Missoula to serve as its headquarters as well as a non-profit center for regional groups with complimentary missions. This presents an exciting opportunity to build collaboration—one of EPI’s strengths as an organization—among synergistic groups within the community.
We invite you to create a regional nexus for conservation education and collaboration, preserve a historic building in downtown Missoula, and support the long-term stability and growth of a pioneering non-profit. Your support will enhance mission achievement and help all participating groups create meaningful change in the world.
