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.

Costa Fragata is ready now!


What a difference a few hours of picking up rubbish makes.  The south end of Costa Fragata was such an eyesore before the group of expat volunteers cleaned it up yesterday.  Thanks to Linda, Peter, Nathan, Betania, Janice, Rosi, Marta, Sarah, Holly, Jeanette, Nicky, Cheryl, Gemma, Sarah, Sean, Tony & family, Neal.  The dogs were a bit overenthusiastic but other than that it was a great morning! 




Before : completely covered in plastic bottles and bags and fishing net










After: Nice safe place to nest
