Paid work with turtles in Africa (conservation/research/ecotourism)

Please do not send your CV or an email for more information.  ONLY apply according to the instructions at http://turtleconservationjobs.blogspot.com

The project encompasses patrolling beaches (night and morning) to monitor nesting and deter hunting, data collection, research, working with tourists and local businesses, operation of hatcheries, education & outreach activities and beach clean-ups. The work is undertaken by full-time and part-time Rangers of many nationalities as well as volunteers from the community & Capeverdean Monitors.  Although there is a wide scope of activities within the project, protection of nesting turtles continues to be the main focus and this can be stressful and tiring, but ultimately highly rewarding.  You can find more information about typical nights and days on our blog.

WHY THIS PROJECT IS DIFFERENT TO OTHERS

The work is very direct and hands on.  We are saving turtles from being killed, preventing the loss of nests and protecting habitat.  You will see immediate results from your work.
We do not charge you HUGE FEES.  Many participants actually GET PAID a living allowance plus accommodation.  
By taking on more responsibility you have the opportunity to EARN MORE.
We are based in a tourist resort so there are a lot of restaurants and bars plus great beaches and access to watersports (world famous windsurfing spot, diving, sailing)
You can get involved in other aspects of the project such as tourism, outreach, research (ongoing work on beach suitability, sex-ratio and in-water studies).
