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.

Calheta Funda Three - Free at last

Congratulations to all involved from the Camara Municipal do Sal and the Maritime Police on the liberation of three loggerhead yearlings who have been kept in captivity and displayed in Calheta Funda. You can see how happy the police delegate is! The turtles were in good shape so three of the rangers carried them beyond the surf zone to make sure they got well away from the shore. The little turtles are finally back where they belong! More photos http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=120636&id=526154523&l=3c37593058
