Show Notes

Tune in to hear about the ranger team doing everything they can to protect baby turtles and save the species in Papua New Guinea! This week we will be hearing from Hayley Versace (On-site manager and Project Coordinator) and Steven Amos (Head Community Conservation Ranger) from the Conflict Islands Conservation Initiative (CICI). CICI is a remarkable organisation that does a range of conservation work aiming to preserve the biodiversity in Milne Bay, a Mission Blue Hopespot situated in the coral triangle. Today we will be focusing on their turtle conservation initiative and you'll get to hear from Ranger Steven who stays up all night for months on end to ensure the hatchlings emerge from the nests safely whilst also protecting the turtles from poachers. Head to www.cici.org.au to support their work!
