Turtle Foundation Newsletter December 2024

The end of the year is just around the corner and once again, it's time to take a look back at the past year. In this newsletter, we provide you with exciting insights into our conservation projects that deserve attention. Among other things, we were able to support the start of a comprehensive knowledge transfer within our sister organisation Yayasan Penyu Indonesia and have come to the end of a successful nesting season for the loggerhead turtle on Boa Vista.

After another twelve months in which, thanks to your support, we were able to work intensively to protect endangered sea turtles, we are looking confidently towards 2025. We hope that you can also look forward to a brilliant, relaxed end of the year.
