Becoming a Citizen Scientist for Turtle Conservation - LAMAVE
We are thrilled to support the launch of a new film on how you can contribute to turtle conservation in the Philippines. The film presents important guidelines to abide by when encountering these amazing animals and explains how you can become a Citizen Scientist simply by sharing your turtle photographs.
The film, which was produced by Large Marine Vertebrates Research Institute Philippines (LAMAVE), is a collaboration with Green Fins, The Reef-World Foundation, DENR-Biodiversity Management Bureau, Philippine Commission on Sports SCUBA Diving - PCSSD, Palawan Council for Sustainable Development and Marine Wildlife Watch of the Philippines and was funded by the Conservation Media Group.
We realise, diving and snorkelling are on hold at the moment; however, if you have been lucky enough to photograph a turtle in the Philippines in the past, now is the perfect time to send LAMAVE those photos and they can match or add the individual you encountered to the national catalogue.
