History
Associação Projeto Biodiversidade began in 2015 with the idea to create an answer to the threats and opportunities that Sal island’s biodiversity and natural resources carry. With the focus on education and collaboration with local communities we created various programs protecting the biodiversity on and around Sal, which began with the conservation of sea turtles.
