We went fpra trip this weekend!! We went to a city called UBATUBA, it's a coastal city, really nice.
We visited a sea turtle preservation project, really cool, there's all kinds of turtles and sea turtles, it's called PROJETO TAMAR.
"The Projeto Tamar field of action is the Brazilian coastline and its Oceanic islands, and its main aim is to work for the protection and preservation of sea turtles. Brazil is home to five out seven species of sea turtles, all of them endangered species. From September to March, along the coast, and January to June, on the islands, the organization monitors the beaches where the turtles lay their eggs. Tamar estimates each year 14.000 nests and 650.000 baby turtles." Brazil Travel Blog

We were waiting to play there but people were too lazy that day, I didn't see a game..
