Jana Lane

I am the Vice President of an international, non-profit conservation organization, Save the Turtles, Inc. My duties for the non-profit are varied, but I tend to do a great deal of writing.

We provide the financial support to communities so they can protect the nesting sea turtles that share their habitat. Our focus of protection has been the Caribbean corridor of Costa Rica but our recently expanded mission allows us to support any region of the world where the need is greatest. Last year we provided support to the U.S. Audubon Society and the Sea Turtle Restoration Project for emergency efforts to rescue sea turtles stricken by the Gulf Oil Disaster.

Although, I am still a very involved Vice President, every bit as passionate about saving endangered sea turtle species as ever, I am currently enjoying a new incarnation as a freelance writer.

I've been writing travel blogs, articles, and just about anything I'm called to do or that calls to me. I have particularly enjoyed writing about conservation, travel, and health.

I have a passionate interest in the archaeology of prehistoric civilizations of North America and Mesoamerica. I am also interested in the historic period of expansionism in the American West. I've yet to have the time to fully delve into all of these topics as a freelancer, but they are definitely on my "to do" list.

Ciao,

Jana
