Turtle SOS may be based in Sal but we also help projects in almost all the other islands. This year we have sent money and/or equipment to people working in Maio, Santiago, Fogo & São Nicolau. We have also provided training here on Sal for people from Santo Antão, São Nicolau, Fogo & Santiago.
These great people don't have access to income from tourism in the same way as we do and the money they should receive from the government often arrives too late, so we are delighted to be able to help in this way.
Not only does it increase the skills level and the amount of patrols and outreach activity that is possible, it also creates a network of people involved in turtle conservation across the country.

We especially enjoy it when people come to the workshops we hold here on Sal. Here are some photos of our colleagues from Projeto Vitó on Fogo who joined us earlier in the month.
