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.

New Capeverdian Zoological Society




We were very pleased to hear about a new society that has just been started - Sociedade Caboverdiana de Zoologia

Founder Cornelis J. Hazevoet says "The aim of the organisation is to promote zoological research in Cape Verde. One of the means through which this is aimed to achieve is the publication of a scientific, peer-reviewed journal - Zoologia
Caboverdiana."

SOS will be participating in this great initiative by submitting an article for the next edition, due in October 2010.
