Primitive, the turtles exist in the planet there is 150 millions of years and, in the final of the century XX, they ran the risk of extinction. They worried about the preservation of the seven species that exist in everybody, biologists united in behalf of this today dear animal marine. In Brazil, twenty exist and a bases of the Project Tamar (little seas turtles project) distributed in eight states. The work, that exists there are twenty years, includes the regions of spawns in the breaks hotter of our country, where is the national headquarters and pioneer of the project: Beach of the Fortress, in the Bahia. Soon, arose the headquarters of Pirambu, in Sergipe, and in Trains, in the Holy Spirit. In Ubatuba, is to only headquarters of the state of São Paulo, therefore this region is considered area of food, where do we find barely young turtles. In our country, we find barely five species: Demochelys Coriacea (called of gigantic turtle or of leather), Caretta caretta (known as pigheaded turtle), Eretmochelys imbricata (the turtle of comb), Lepidochelys oliacea (known like turtle oliva), Chelonia mydas (popular green turtle), that is to more common in our region.

The project Tamar obtained the awareness of all a nation. Alone in our region participate actively encloses 50 fishermen that, when capture some in his nets soon notify to the project, that also is an important center of researches and developed important programs of environmental education in assembly with communal and social action, providing the entire families of the where first, economic alternative region participate of offices and soon resort to the paper little bags output for packagings, tartareias and Wood, all with motives of turtles, that are traded in the three shops, that also offer souvenirs and stuff of disclosure. All the sale is reverted for the own little seas turtles conservation program.

Is worth hardly confer!

This animal backup secrets that perhaps never the studious come to decipher-them, therefore knows itself that the female spawns in the same beach in that was born even that during his life she have crossed the oceans in search of sustenances or adventures, however does not itself know as she map the its return after so many years. An alone turtle knows about his sexuality with around twenty-five years of age, when the male exhibits a bigger tail than the of the female. Some species, in the adult age, arrive it weigh 900 kilos, as is the case of the gigantic turtle. Already the green turtle arrives to around 200 kilos and all, in general, live approximately between 80 to 100 years. These animals were hunted for food and for making of objects or, many times, died in the nets of fishing, propellers of embarkations or to even by afogamento.
