In this fourth episode of “Equestrio Foundation in Action”, we head for southern Italy with one of our long-standing partners: Lampedusa Turtle Rescue<\/span><\/a>. Here you’ll get to meet the centre’s volunteers and Dima, our video-maker, who is fascinated by underwater life and who gives us hands-on insight into the world of those who act daily to save turtles.<\/p>\n

What’s really going on in Lampedusa?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Lampedusa, better known for its European immigration issues, is less famous for the richness of its marine life, which is unfortunately also under great threat. Particularly the Caretta Caretta sea turtles<\/strong> which are faced with the hazardous consequences of fishing, pollution and global warming. Fortunately for them, there is Lampedusa Turtle Rescue: a center that cares for injured turtles and that is the pride of the island.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saving\u00a0 sea turtles<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

It is impossible for us to forgo the pleasure of sharing the work of this very special hospital with you through a new episode of \u201cEquestrio Foundation in Action\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For logistical reasons, we didn’t make it to the field this time. But don’t panic! Dima, our curious and committed videographer, made up for it by spending almost a week filming on rocky Lampedusa to give you an insight into the busy daily lives of the volunteer biologists and vets who, since 1990, have remained faithful to the same precept: every drop of water in the sea counts for the future of our oceans.<\/strong><\/p>\n
