Additional Information

Maio Biodiversity Foundation (FMB) was founded in 2010, after one of our founders, who had been researching the Kentish plover populations on the island, realised the need for a project to protect the sea turtles that nest on Maio's unspoilt beaches. We work with the communities, authorities, and other organisations on the island, to work to protect Maio's beautiful biodiversity, whilst also improving the lives of the people of Maio through sustainable economic alternatives. Some of Maio's biodiversity includes nesting loggerhead sea turtles, shark populations (nurse sharks, lemon sharks, hammerhead sharks, milk sharks, tiger sharks, to name a few!), breeding humpback whales, dolphin species, seabirds, and some impressive birds of prey. Please look at our website to learn more! http://fmb-maio.org/

Conservation NGO in West Africa - Help wanted in Communications and Marketing

Description

Hello! We are Maio Biodiversity Foundation (Fundação Maio Biodiversidade), a conservation NGO in Maio, one of the islands in Cape Verde, West Africa. We are an NGO with a diverse team, which through national and international partnerships, raises awareness, involves and trains the population in environmental issues for conservation and sustainable development in Maio. We would love some help to publicise our great work. We currently don't have anyone working full-time on communications, only one person running our social media, and some external help to set up our website (http://fmb-maio.org/) and to write the occasional article about us (https://www.fauna-flora.org/news/meet-guardians-sea-protecting-cape-verdes-marine-life?fbclid=IwAR1TWHsMtpeCtZjO0qFYyPfMkFrM7-xhNAG_cYJLL0093SgPmaKCGft-4qs). If you could help with any of the following, please get in touch. Anyone that also speaks Portuguese we would also love to find a volunteer that could come to Maio to train our staff in some communications basics (and we may also have some budget to help with flights etc). In the mean time however, we would love any help (in English or Portuguese!) with: - Improving our website - Creating a communications plan for our social media/website news posts - An analysis of our current communications and what we could do better - Writing any news articles (these would be in English) for the website - Anything else you feel we could benefit from we would be open to hearing about! Many thanks in advance, Gemma
