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.

Top volunteer....

Hi Jacquie,
Had a really fantastic time, thanks so much for the luxury accomodation! I found the turtles so impressive and looking at the whys and whereabouts of the tracks certainly brought out the detective in me! I got to tag two of them, one I named after my friend who is actually obsessed with tortoises. She feels very honoured to have a fellow 'Katharina' swimming around in Cabo Verde!
