The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) has been reintroduced to Fuerteventura from Cape Verde. Eight nests with around five hundred eggs were transferred to Fuerteventura from Gran Canaria. The nests were at risk from predators at Cape Verde and the eggs had a very poor chance of hatching and the turtles had very little chance of making it to the sea. The nests were transported via helicopter to "turtle camp" Fuerteventura. The eggs were buried So the natural progression of turtles could continue.
