Previously, locals in Hojiua, Angola, would kill up to 30 sea turtles a day to cook and sell. Now, they have jobs as caretakers and beach patrollers in an ecotourism economy based around turtle preservation.
The turnaround is thanks to a scheme by Angola’s oldest university, Universidade Agostinho Neto. The Kitabanga Project trains locals in #conservation skills and new roles as tour guides and wildlife protectors, addressing the poverty that drove turtle-hunting. The result? The number of baby #turtles is booming, and livelihoods in Hojiua are more resilient and sustainable.
