Final Evaluation: WA3 - Conserving the Seabirds of Cabo Verde 2017-2022
October 19, 2022The Cabo Verde archipelago is known over the world as a seabird hotspot. Despite this, seabird populations have declined severely, often because of direct capture, leading to local extinction in some islands and islets, and the complete extinction of the Frigatebird. This situation, together with scarcity of information on seabird conservation status and the threats they face, as well as low public awareness and engagement in the archipelago, inspired us to create an action plan for the conservation of seabirds in Cabo Verde.Together, we sought to build a solid understanding of the ecology of seabird species while identifying and mitigating threats, both on land and at sea. In addition, we wanted to enable and promote the participation of local technicians in seabird monitoring, increase research capacity, raise awareness across the country, and improve the existing legal framework for the protection of species and relevant sites.
