While Cabo Verde remains to capture global attention with its remarkable football journey on the international stage, the island nation is celebrating another extraordinary achievement, this time in the natural world. Scientists have disclosed that Boa Vista, one of Cabo Verde's significant islands, has witnessed one of the most dramatic wildlife recoveries ever recorded. A new long-term study published in Biological Conservation found that nesting activity by loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta ) increased 80-fold between 1998 and 2024, mirroring decades of dedicated conservation work by researchers, local communities, and environmental organizations.
