Sea turtles play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the ocean and are proclaimed as a key species for human survival. But their survival - and the balance of life in the sea - is being threatened. Vivemar is a cooperative society in Oaxaca, Mexico that helps save baby turtle eggs and helps these gentle creatures make it safely to the sea, their home.

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
GivingTuesday takes place on the last Tuesday of November. This year, GivingTuesday is on November 28, 2023, although they encourage everyone to celebrate it every day.
Everyone! GivingTuesday has been built by a broad coalition of partners, including individuals, families, nonprofits, schools, religious organizations, small businesses and corporations. There are people and organizations participating in GivingTuesday in every country in the world.
Businesses and brands participate in GivingTuesday by using their platforms, networks, talents and resources for good. Some businesses give a percentage of sales to a nonprofit on GivingTuesday, others serve as a drop off spot for a goods collection, offer matching grants to local organizations, or volunteer together as a team.
