Activit�s de terrainAs per the resolution, turtle species are eligible for SOS funded grants and have been the recipient of SOS grants. An example of this was a project to help protect and conserve the South East Asian Terrapins.

The Marine Turtle Specialist Group has been particularly focused on such initiatives as the State of the World’s Sea Turtles (SWOT) and Global Sea Turtle Tracking Initiative.
Quelles mesures ont été prises afin de surmonter ces obstacles ?:
