The initial actions towards the conservation of three species of endangered river turtles in the Colombian Amazonia 2008 program successfully achieved its second and last phase. In it, the monitoring of the community turtle conservation beach continued until all the little turtles hatched from the nests and arrived to the Amazon river. The monitoring was held by members of the Curuinsi Huasi Indigenous Association, young people from the Nuevo Jardin indigenous community, one FBC researcher and two university volunteers. The results of these monitoring will be soon available. The second phase also included a wider promotion of the Program among the area, through visits to the neighbor communities and regional radio and television interviews. In this moment the fund raising phase for the continuation of the program in 2009, in which four indigenous communities of Peru and Colombia will be involved. Read more advances on the Program here
