<div class="p1">
Cabo Verde is the world’s third most important nesting site for Loggerhead turtles (<i>Caretta caretta</i>).</div>
<div class="p1">
Despite being an endangered species and protected by law, the turtles are still killed for their meat. In 2007 it was estimated that loggerhead turtles on Sal would be extinct by 2015 if something was not done to stop the illegal hunting and trading of their meat. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In the 2008 ADTMA SOS Tartarugas began patrols to deter hunters and the mortality in that first year declined by an estimated 72%. Since that time hundreds of volunteers and local employees have patrolled the beaches, directly saving many adult females from hunters. As the project evolved we began to offer turtle walks and other programmes to enable visitors to the country to participate in these conservation activities and to inform and educate about the need to protect marine turtles.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Cabo Verde is the world’s third most
important site for nesting loggerhead turtles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SOS Tartarugas began operations in June 2008 on Sal in
response to the wholesale slaughter of turtles as they came on to the beach to
nest, a situation that may have resulted in rapid extinction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SOS Tartarugas is a non-profit
environmental organisation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
main objective is to protect and conserve loggerhead turtles through deterring
illegal hunting and protecting nesting habitat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We work in conjunction with local and national government
and law enforcement agencies and over five seasons have significantly reduced
the number of nesting turtles killed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>SOS Tartarugas is based on Sal but also works in conjunction with other
partners on several more islands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The organization is a member of TAOLA, the Cape Verdean Sea Turtle
Network.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For more information

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The project encompasses patrolling beaches
(night and morning) to monitor nesting and deter hunting, data collection,
research, working with tourists and local businesses, operation of hatcheries, education
& outreach activities and beach clean-ups. The work is undertaken by
full-time and part-time Rangers of many nationalities as well as volunteers
from the community & Capeverdean Monitors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although there is a wide scope of activities within the
project, protection of nesting turtles continues to be the main focus and this
can be stressful and tiring, but ultimately highly rewarding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can find more information about
typical nights and days on our blog. <a href="http://turtlesoscaboverde.blogspot.com/2010/07/extracts-from-last-nights-log-four.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Extracts from thelog book</span></a></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The usual nesting season is from June until
October with hatchlings being born from mid-August until late December.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The project is based in Santa Maria, a
popular tourist destination known for its beaches and water-sports.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Participants are based in self-catering
accommodation as well as in field camps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>Jacquie Cozenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02185833125088412952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797978648121796161.post-79097620771459362742012-12-08T23:30:00.000-01:002012-12-18T18:54:43.933-01:00When & how you can participate in the project<style>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">There are various ways in which you can
contribute to the conservation of marine turtles in Cabo Verde, depending on
your experience and the time you have available. We are inviting applications for varying periods, ranging
from a few weeks to the entire season.
You can even participate if you have only a few days on your holiday.
The available positions are detailed below. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">Nesting usually begins in the second week of
June and peaks during July, August & September, declining to one or two
nests a day by the beginning of October.
Hatching goes on until late December. July, August & September are
intense and tiring and you will need considerable mental and physical stamina,
commitment and calmness during this time.

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">We are looking for people who really want to

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">This is an
opportunity to be part of a new and expanding project that is achieving
excellent results and with your contribution will continue to evolve. It will not only provide you with good
experience of turtle conservation techniques but also give you the opportunity
to make a real difference to the survival of marine turtles. SOS Tartarugas
staff have been directly responsible for saving numerous nesting turtles and
hatchlings and experience a high level of satisfaction from being able to
rapidly affect the declining situation in Cabo Verde. Rangers are based in Santa Maria but spend varying periods
at the field camp in basic conditions. Please note that only water and basic
foods are provided in the camps (see section about the camp for more
information).</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">This is
challenging work that can be extremely tiring and stressful. You will work during the night as well
as during the day. A good level of
fitness and physical and mental energy is required as patrols are long (some
are all night), conducted on foot and may be as much as 15km. Shift patterns vary but you will have
one day’s rest per week. Read the
FAQs for more information.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">We patrol in
pairs and are sometimes supported by the military but <u>you will encounter
hunters on the beach even if soldiers are present</u>. You should be sure that you are
mentally strong and calm enough to accept this. </span></span></div>

We have been supporting turtle conservation and educational activities there for a number of years. This year we would like to increase the level of support by sending a team of two people to live there and coordinate our activities, engage more people in the community and help to boost the skills and knowledge of the already established project.<br />

<br />
The coordinator needs to be a very special person, with a mixture of solid experience with loggerhead turtles, the ability to work independently and proven leadership skills. Some of the beaches are isolated and hard to get to you will need to be resourceful and show initiative to develop the best plan for the season. If you think this is you please review the requirements for Wildlife Ranger and add these.<br />
<br />
Must have experience with nesting loggerhead turtles (including track identification, tagging, nest relocations and nest excavations)<br />
Must speak Capeverdean Krioul or Portuguese or Spanish<br />
Must have attention to detail, capable of excellent data collection and ability to follow protocols <br />
Must have experience training and leading other people<br />
Must be dynamic and able to problem solve<br />
Must be able to work independently<br />
Must be friendly and culturally sensitive<br />
<br />
This is an ideal stepping stone for someone already working in turtle conservation who wishes to become a project coordinator.<br />
<br />
To be interviewed for this position, you will need to demonstrate on your application that you have all the above qualities and experience.<br />
<br />
Timing : Training in Sal in June and staying on São Nicolau between July and October.<br />
<br />
Benefits : Initially €100/month plus accommodation - rising to €300 depending on performance.Jacquie Cozenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02185833125088412952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797978648121796161.post-7728602717457263182012-12-08T21:46:00.000-01:002012-12-18T18:55:15.060-01:00Wildlife Rangers no experience<style>

Leão, the only Marine Protected Zone (MPZ) in Cape Verde.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2011 & 2012 Serra Negra had the
highest density of turtles on Sal - it is therefore the best opportunity to
work with turtles and is also where the majority of training will take
place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mont Leão has a lower
nesting density but has a high mortality rate and therefore is a critical area
for protection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both beaches are
only 20 minutes drive from Santa Maria but are quiet and infrequently
visited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By participating in these
camps you will make a very real difference to the survival of nesting turtles
on Sal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will stay on the beach
in groups of three or four living in tents, for three to six nights and have
one day of rest in Santa Maria each week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We may share the camp with soldiers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

day will have time to rest and swim and perform maintenance duties around the
camp (including beach cleaning).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is a pit toilet and shaded areas but limited fresh water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Drinking water and basic foodstuff is
provided, including rice, pasta, sugar & tinned goods but you will be
responsible for bringing fresh food, bread and other items with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Facilities and comfort will be limited
so you should be sure that you are able to cope with these conditions before
you apply for this option.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
will be advised what you need to bring if you are offered a place.</span></div>

</div>
<ul>
<li>The work is very direct and hands on. We are saving turtles from being killed, preventing the loss of nests and protecting habitat. You will see immediate results from your work.</li>
<li>We do not charge you HUGE FEES. The majority of participants actually GET PAID a living allowance plus accommodation. </li>
<li>By taking on more responsibility you have the opportunity to EARN MORE. </li>
<li>We are based in a tourist resort so there are a lot of restaurants and bars plus great beaches and access to watersports (world famous windsurfing spot, diving, sailing) </li>
<li>You can get involved in other aspects of the project such as tourism, outreach, research (ongoing work on beach suitability, sex-ratio and in-water studies).</li>
<li>It's not just us - there's loads of people who live here of all nationalities who give one or two nights a week to protecting the turtles - it makes it a multi-national, multi-aged, interesting place to work.</li>
