From its discovery & its role in the Slave Trade, the collapse of numerous export industries (we'll reflect on why), the effects of prolonged droughts and the impacts and challenges caused by the booming tourism industry.
Budding biologists and conservationists will enjoy the hands on time spent working alongside a local team of dedicated & passionate individuals on a turtle conservation initiative
(they featured on the BBC's Blue Planet in 2017!) as well as spending an afternoon interacting at a local school to enhance cross cultural communication. The team will also get to paddle with Lemon Sharks!
