The spawning tartles
Urgent international efforts are needed to conserve West Africa's sea turtles as studies show that the region holds some of the world's most important feeding and nesting sites, many of them under threat. The International University Campus, for studies and conservation of marine turtles, holds field camps for the study and conservation of nesting marine turtles each year in Boa Vista.
The project's name is "Capo Verde Nature 2000". Students from both Europe and Cape Verde participate and also some tourist can join the study groups. The field caps work from July to September each year, as Boa Vista offers excellent nesting habitat for nesting loggerhead turtles Caretta Caretta. Most of this activity takes places on the east coast beaches at night.

If you want to participate you will finance the project "Caboverde Nature 2000". It will be a special experience, an unforgettable emotion, a magic evening with nature.
