After 1 and half month delay, and too many turtles unprotected and killed because of this ridiculous situation, we have been finally granted access to our containers and thus our camp equipment, and will be able to start setting up the Curral Velho camp soon!
This is a relief for all us, who have been stressing out at the sight of the many turtles found dead on the beach of Lacacão until now. Hopefully things will change very soon, as they have in Boa Esperança beach so far. At least 20 turtles were recorded killed this season in this beach before we set up the camp last sunday, but so far no turtles were found dead, which shows that our presence in this beach has been effective.
So finally we will be able to start our camps, and improve dramatically the protection of the beaches in Boa Esperança, Lacacão and Curral Velho.
On the positive side, we are already day-dreaming about next season, when at once all the camp equipment will be in Boavista already (we'll never trust container companies AGAIN), and we can start with our program from day 1!
