Based out of Ventura, Paso Pacífico helps protect birds and whales that migrate between Ventura County and the tropics. In our main working areas in Central America, we save endangered species like sea turtles and spider monkeys, plant native trees, and work with community members to improve the environment for a better world. Our mission is to restore and protect the Pacific Slope ecosystems, including dry tropical forests, mangrove wetlands, and coral reefs. We accomplish this by building wildlife corridors that protect biodiversity and connect people to their land and ocean, emphasizing the involvement of local communities, landowners, and partner organizations.

Each year, World Ocean Day provides an opportunity to honor, help protect, and conserve our shared ocean. It recognizes that a healthy ocean is critical to our survival, generating most of the oxygen we breathe, helping feed us, regulating our climate, and cleaning the water we drink.
