🩹🦔 The incredible healing power of wildlife never ceases to amaze us! 🐾💚

These two recent patients are wonderful examples of just how resilient wildlife can be.

Both arrived with extensive wounds that required careful cleaning and flushing to remove debris and support the healing process. With appropriate wound care, time and a little help, healthy granulation tissue began to form — an essential part of the body’s natural healing process.

We’re delighted to say that both patients made a full recovery!

Stories like these are a powerful reminder that wildlife can be remarkably resilient. Sometimes, with the right supportive care, a safe environment and time to heal, animals can recover from injuries that initially look quite severe.

An incredible journey back to the wild

A few days in Lampedusa, surrounded by incredible people, dedicated to one shared mission: helping sea turtles. 🐢💙
I had the opportunity to spend a few days with Daniela and the amazing team at Lampedusa Sea Turtle Rescue, working alongside them to help with surgeries and the treatment of injured sea turtles. During this time we also collaborated with a team from Taiwan. We shared experiences and knowledge through surgeries, presentations and thoughtful discussions. We brought together different experiences, techniques and perspectives. With two successful turtle releases and a third to follow very soon after all having surgery it was a very amazing trip.
Thank you, Daniela and the entire team, for welcoming me and for the important work you do every day. ❤️🐢

Here is a little insight into a typical day at the wildlife hospital.

Wobbles presented to us with some difficulties. Treatment plans were put in place and she was responding well. She recently had some more difficulties and so further investigations were warranted to get to the bottom of the cause. A massive thank you to for their help. Remember that all wildlife deserve the same level of care as our domestic patients as many of them come into difficult as a direct or indirect result of human activity. We will await the results from the specialist and see if there is anything more that can be done to help her

A little round-up from an amazing nesting season in Cabo Verde 🇨🇻🐢🌊
From delivering a whale stranding response course, to rescuing turtles, supporting nesting females and experiencing the highs and challenges of conservation work in the field.
So many incredible moments, plenty of hard work, and memories I won’t forget.
Another season gone but some very exciting news to come! 💙🐋🐢

🐢🌊 Every turtle deserves to find its way home.
In Cabo Verde, young sea turtles can sometimes become disoriented and lost on their journey to the ocean. There are a number of reasons this can happen — including artificial lighting from hotels and other buildings, which can draw hatchlings away from the natural glow of the sea.
When we find a lost turtle, we carefully rescue it and return it safely to the beach, giving it the best chance to make its way into the ocean. 🌙➡️🌊
Small actions can make a huge difference. By reducing unnecessary beachfront lighting and protecting nesting areas, we can help more turtles find their way home.
Protect the beaches. Protect the turtles. 💙🐢

We asked some of our team members to share their own messages of thanks — because your support doesn’t just fund our work, it helps make it possible.
From all of us at the , and especially the teams working every day in the field:
Thank you, , for helping us protect turtles and their precious habitats. 💚🌍

🐢🌙 Born here. Leaving here. Coming home here.
Tiny sea turtles emerge from the sands of Cape Verde and make their first incredible journey towards the ocean. 🌊
But this isn’t goodbye…
Years from now, the females will return to the same beach where they were born to lay their own eggs. 🏝️
