SOS Tartarugas works in Cape Verde protecting nesting loggerheads turtles (Caretta caretta) and their habitat. Cape Verde is the third most important nesting area for loggerheads in the world. Turtles are at risk from hunting for meat, stealing of eggs, removal of sand for building and unregulated tourism development. Our email is info@turtlesos.org.

CVSTN join forces with INDP in Sao Nicolau

INDP (Institute for the development of fisheries) and CVSTN (Capeverdian Sea Turtle Network) start joint activities this week in an effort to diminish the slaughter of turtles on the island of Sao Nicolau.  Limited data exists for this island, but CVSTN and INDP together with the local government authorities hope to develop and train guards who will not only protect turtles but will collect data and tag them as well.
