1 in 1000 This is the number of baby sea turtles estimated to survive until adulthood. Their life is full of dangers, and we aim to do our best to protect this endangered species right here on Sal Island.

Yesterday we carried out a mission with the National Police, the Armed Forces, and Fundação Tartaruga, with detection dogs to identify and combat illegal sea turtle trafficking, in the north of Sal Island. Two people were arrested and two turtles were rescued and then released.

To understand the mechanisms of sex determination we use #genomics and #epigenomics tools. We identified genes that are different between sexes at birth to use them as biomarkers. With those, we can now address the impact of warming on population viability. @ProjetoBioSal

During the nesting season, #loggerheadturtles can produce hundreds of eggs but invest nothing in parental care- hatchlings must survive on their own! 🌊🐢🥚 Very different from humans and a fascinating reminder of the diverse #reproductivestrategies that exist

This cheeky-looking fella is a red-billed tropicbird. Check out his bright red bill and long white tail! There is a large population nesting on Sal, Cabo Verde, that was only recently discovered! Find out how @ProjetoBioSal is trying to protect them: dw.com/en/discovering…
