Punta Banco Turtle Conservation Project

Running a conservation project as a foreigner at the end of the road in Costa Rica takes conviction, dedication and service.  All of these qualities I found in Astrid Van Egmond, a turtle activist from Holland.

Astrid has been working with the Punta Banco Turtle Conservation Project since 2014 and this current season has also taken on the management position at Rancho Burica.  Astrid runs the turtle program from Rancho Burica, a beachfront Dutch owned cabina business offering affordable all-inclusive packages in front of a left-hander reef break.

As she was keen to immediately point out, Astrid could not be so successful without her team of local “Turtle Watchers” that she utilizes to help her efforts.  A team of nightly beachcombers, local men, women and traveling volunteers follow the ebb and flow of the tides searching for turtles and their nests.  

Astrid is finding out how this small community quickly acts for a common cause. Currently, there are three turtle nurseries in Punta Banco.  One is located in front of Tiskita’s private airstrip, another in front of the Punta Banco Supermarket and the third at Rancho Burica.

Thanks to local contributions, they are well equipped with radios and can react or respond at a moment’s notice. Turtle egg poaching is still happening.

Informacion Posesoria Is The Legal Process To Acquire Title To Your Costa Rican Property.

[metaslider id=6667]

(The legal Process To Acquire Costa Rican Title) Disclaimer: PLR will not sell disputed land and never will. This process will not be applicable if the land is currently in dispute of ownership. 

A real estate owner may apply for the title for his Costa Rican property:
-if he shows he owns it for more than 10 years.
-If an owner doesn’t have the 10 years of possession, he could use the possession length of the previous owner only if the sale has been registered at the Registro Nacional.

Informacion posesoria or title process requirements:
The owner would have to provide information about the lot, its nature ( prairie, forest etc), its size, its current construction on the site, about his bordering neighbors and previous owners of the land being titled.
He will also have to indicate that the farm or lot has no title in the Registro Nacional.
He needs to acquire a letter from the bordering neighbors stipulating they agree with the boundaries, in accordance with the survey of the land.

He would also need to present an official survey and a document certified from the Registro Nacional indicating the other titled lots or farms that he owns.
One last additional requirement is to provide the name, phone number and ID of three witnesses having knowledge of the property and the area in question.
