Publication 430 The Snow Leopard Project and Other Adventures in Warzone Conservation


Cover Globally, sea turtles are considered threatened throughout their range and conservation practitioners are increasingly investing resources in marine protected areas to protect key life history stages and critical habitats, including foraging grounds, nesting beaches and inter-nesting areas. Empirical data on the distribution of these habitats and/or the spatial ecology and behaviour of individuals of many sea turtle populations are often lacking, undermining conservation efforts, particularly along the Atlantic coast of Africa. Habitat use by tracked green turtles at a foraging ground in Loango Bay, Republic of the Congo, revealed that core areas of habitat use and occupancy for a wide range of size and age classes were restricted to shallow waters adjacent to Pointe Indienne in Loango Bay, where the Congolese government intends to create a marine conservation zone to protect sea turtles.
