Researchers, volunteers, university students, and local inhabitants collaborate to collect important long-term data on nesting turtles and to protect the four species of sea turtles during the 5 months of the year that they nest on the southern coasts of Bioko.

Education

We conduct a variety of educational programs for local school children, university students, and the general public, with the goal of raising awareness about the threats to sea turtles and other wildlife. By engaging the public and providing educational opportunities we raise awareness about environmental and conservation issues and increase the local capacity to address these challenges.

Artisanal Program

The Equatorial Guinea Artisanal Program was created with the goal of empowering women in small coastal communities by providing a novel and sustainable source of income. Increased economic opportunity promotes gender equality and increased access to the economic, educational, and health benefits that accompany sustainable development. In addition to fostering gender equality this program decreases the reliance of local villagers on dwindling wildlife resources, such as taking turtles and eggs from the nesting beaches.

Bioko Drill Program

The Bioko Drill Program is a conservation initiative aimed at conserving the Bioko drill through research, education, and outreach. The program focuses on research activities that will help to fill the enormous gaps in knowledge about the ecology, biology, and ecology of the drill. By addressing the startling paucity of information, we hope to be able to identify management and conservation actions that will be most effective in stopping the extinction of the endangered drill.
