Tom Pollak
EL Cuco, El Salvador
Big Wave Surfer, Conservation activist and entrepreneur, Tom is hoping to be the saviour of El Salvador's turtle and pelican population.
Larger than life and full of infectious passion, Tom is a conservation inspiration . After making his fortune in New York, Tom decided to move to El Salvador to spend more time surfing. It's on these beaches he saw the horrific Turtle egg trade first hand and had to make it stop. His answer? La Tortuga Verde. This resort and conservation center is just a small glimpse of Toms' utopian vision. Now, the No.1 place to visit in El Salvador, it's already making a big imapct to the turtle population.
