Tourism Rangers work hands on at the hatchery

Tourism Ranger
Giving information to visitors to the hatchery and guiding guests on turtle walks is a key part of this job, but it is still hands-on with turtles.  Tourism Rangers go through the same training as Wildlife Rangers and perform many of the same duties such as collecting data and relocating nests.  You need to be outgoing and have good communication skills.  Preferred languages are English, German, French, Dutch & Italian. 

Tourism Manager
Similar to above but should have some experience of working with tourists or in a customer facing role.  Must also have very good organisational skills.

Serra Negra

Camp Coordinator
Take charge of the most important beach on Sal for nesting turtles.  Beautiful, isolated Serra Negra is where our camp is situated.  You should have previous experience working with turtles and should be able to speak either Capeverdean Kriolu, Portuguese or Spanish.

All about turtles in Cabo Verde

An excellent initiative by the Scientific Committee of TAOLA (The Capeverdean Sea Turtle Network) has brought together all the literature that has ever been published on turtles in the archipelago.  It includes research articles, chapters in books & doctoral theses and the aim is to provide a useful resource for sea turtle workers in the country and abroad.
