About this project

Although sea turtles are protected by Cape Verdean law, they still face severe threats. Illegal hunting at sea and on land, along with the rapid destruction of nesting beaches due to unchecked tourism development, put their survival at risk.
To address this, Turtle Foundation has been active on the island of Boa Vista since 2008. During the nesting season from June to October, we patrol the beaches together with local rangers and international volunteers to protect the turtles during egg-laying. We also collect and analyze vital data to monitor the population and develop long-term conservation strategies.
Donations help fund ranger salaries, training, accommodations, transportation, and the equipment needed for beach patrols and data collection.
