In its 12 September update, WWF Italy reported 179 loggerhead turtle nests recorded by volunteers and 96 hatching events monitored, producing more than 7,000 hatchlings. These are the organisation’s monitoring figures as of that date, rather than a final census of every nest in Italy. [1]

LIFE ADAPTS is a five-year project in Italy, Greece and Cyprus combining research with habitat protection for sea turtles and Mediterranean monk seals. Studying adaptation to climate change is its objective, not an outcome already secured. [2]
