Why this project?

➊ Sea turtles are the most endangered animals in the world, second only to primates. Fishing nets, poaching and plastic pollution are to blame.

➋ Senegal is home to 5 out of 7 species of sea turtle and is home to one of the largest populations of green turtles in the world. 🐢

➌ Green turtles are essential for maintaining seagrass beds, the underwater meadows responsible for around 10-18% of total carbon storage in the oceans. 🌊 The other turtle species help to balance biodiversity, particularly by eliminating jellyfish.

📌 The funds raised through this campaign will help:

🔹 Build a sea turtle care and rehabilitation center

🔹 Secure nesting beaches and feeding areas

🔹 Raise awareness among schools and families

🔹 Create jobs and support the socio-professional integration of young people

🔹 Strengthen local conservation initiatives in West Africa

📢 Share our campaign and help us support the turtles!
