Many Congratulations to our latest group of exceptional Darwin Leaders for completing their projects on Cape Verde in partnership with conservation NGOs Biosfera and Terrimar.

Alison Ashworth, Michael Binder, Emmanuel Kudolo, Larissa Vidal Melo, Merlijn Hulseboom, Nina dei Marcovaldi and Gabriel Mendonça Grellet worked around the clock to complete fascinating projects covering the conservation of sea turtles, sharks, rays, endemic plants, a unique lizard previously thought to be extinct, marine plastics and more!

We will be posting their completed videos, photo essays and written reports shortly!

Our Darwin Leaders Ally and Annie, who are working with green turtles, came into a close encounter today whilst gathering data for @biosfera_cv new green turtle database! 🐢

A flying fish (Exocoetus volitans) found its way onto the Oosterschelde`s deck during the night. This individual represents one of 64 species of fish famous for their ability to launch themselves into more than 100 meters of gliding flight. While this tactic allows them to evade predators from below, flying fish frequently end up on the ships which flush them from the sea.

One of many stunning sunsets captured on route to Cape Verde. 😍 @dutchtallship

We are pleased to share the very first Darwin Leader project –
Guanches of the Sea – The Pilot Whales of Tenerife (Episode 1 of 3 created by;

Darwin Leader: Iro Tsarmpopoulou-Fokianou
Filmed and edited by Lorimer Macandrew

This exceptional research project was created within a week and identifies three objectives;

1. Exploring changes since Charles Darwin`s Visit
2. What conservation work is in place to safeguard the Pilot Whales
3. What more could be done to protect Pilot Whales

For each objective our Darwin Leaders produced a short film, photo essay and report.

Well done Iro and Lorimer on this fantastic project.

Keep and eye out for the next Darwin Leader film which will be shared on our social media channels this week.
