The “Nest Adoption Program” is an initiative of the Kitabanga Project, which aims to seek resources to help subsidize the monitoring and protection of sea turtle nests across a wider range of intervention areas, thereby helping to guide the greatest possible number of hatchlings safely to the sea. It also aims to promote society’s involvement in the conservation of these animals by giving adopters the opportunity to visit and monitor the aforementioned nests at the target base or beach and, whenever possible, help guide the hatchlings to the sea.
The idea behind this campaign is to provide information so that people can become aware of the importance of sea turtle conservation, have the opportunity to feel closer to these animals, and leave a positive environmental footprint through activities carried out by the Kitabanga Project.
Many people would like to contribute more to the conservation of sea turtles in Angola, but due to a lack of opportunities, time, knowledge, or the necessary resources, they ultimately miss the opportunity to play a valuable role in conservation efforts. In response to this perspective, the Kitabanga Project, through the
“Nest Adoption Program”, will enable everyone interested to interact more closely with sea turtles, participate in conservation activities, and gain knowledge, while increasingly valuing the efforts made towards conservation.
