Reflections are underway to explore how to set up an operational network…
Rastoma (www.rastoma.org) the network of sea turtle conservation actors in Central Africa (DRC, Congo, Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroun) is proud to support the emergence of a this network in West Africa (covering Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Liberia).
