Tortoise census takes wanted

Ecologistas en Acción are looking for volunteers to take part in a tortoise census next Saturday May 28.

It’s part of a tortoise survey being carried out by the University of Murcia and the Serbal association.

There he goes, scuttling into the undergrowth. I did not touch!

The census starts at 10am in Salar de los Canos, Vera. You’ll wander around your designated area all day, and everytime you find a tortoise you call over the vet who is in charge of checking their health. Then at the end of the day you have to let them all go again.

Volunteers should email the Almería branch of Ecologistas en Acción here.
