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.

4th Annual Meeting of TAOLA the Capeverdean Sea Turtle Network

The dates have just been announced for the fourth meeting of all people, institutions & government representatives involved in sea turtle conservation in Cape Verde. The three day conference will be held in Mindelo from the 22nd to the 24th May. Key themes will include the formation of a legally recognised body which will be more effective in lobbying for turtle protection. The many conservation projects, big & small will present the results of their 2012 campaign. The conference is hosted by INDP (the Capeverdean fisheries research institute) & funded by the Marine Turtle Conservation Fund (an initiative of the US government).
