Sea turtles are one of the most exciting animals to see in the wild, and Vanuatu’s waters are home to four of the seven species found worldwide: Hawksbill, Green, Loggerhead and Leatherback. Hawksbill, Green and Leatherback turtles also come ashore to lay their eggs on Vanuatu’s beaches during the summer months (October to March).

Les tortues marines figurent parmi les animaux les plus fascinants à observer dans la nature. Les eaux du Vanuatu abritent quatre des sept espèces présentes dans le monde : la tortue imbriquée, la tortue verte, la tortue caouanne et la tortue luth.

The EU funded SPREP BioScapes Programme and the Conservation and Environment Protection Authority of PNG have been working together on something special. ‘Tuki na Trausel’ is a comic book in pidgin language illustrated by the famous Papuan illustrator Gima Segore. In the book, you can join Tuki and his uncle as they learn about sea turtles in the Pacific! In one day, they find turtle nests, meet a large adult female turtle and watch hatchlings take their first steps into the ocean.
