Sea Turtle Conservation in Colombia 🐢🇨🇴 The Turtleman Foundation has generously donated funds to support a sea turtle conservation training workshop in El Valle, Bahía Solano, organized by CIMAD Foundation, based in Colombia.
We are very grateful for this meaningful collaboration, which strengthens our mission to protect sea turtles and their habitats.
The training workshop will focus on:
🐢 Proper management of protected nesting sites
🌱 Nest relocation, incubation monitoring, and hatchling release
📊 Visitor management, data collection, and tagging of nesting females
This initiative is part of a broader effort to build a robust, verifiable, and community-based conservation program along the Colombian Pacific coast.
PNN Utría officials also participated in a workshop led by CIMAD and The Turtleman Foundation on sea turtle monitoring in nesting beaches and feeding areas. This training is crucial for improving our ability to protect these incredible creatures.
Special thanks to PNN Utría and especially to The Turtleman Foundation for their invaluable support during the hawksbill turtle capture and training sessions.
Together, we protect what matters.
