Recently, a new estimate was made of the abundance of the Guiana dolphin(Sotalia guianensis) in the south of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela - valuable data that will help to define new measures for its conservation. A workshop on the ecology of the Guiana dolphins and manatees was also held for the teachers of the Tito Salas School, where a red mangrove nursery project was also initiated with the help of the children to raise awareness of the value of this forest and promote its protection. This part of the great Maracaibo Lake is an area of great importance for both species of aquatic mammals - Sotalia dolphins(Sotalia guianensis) and manatees(Trichechus manatus manatus).
A project in collaboration with our partners Proyecto Sotalia.
