After the Floods: Saving Spain’s Turtles
Why it matters
Carla, a 27-year-old environmental lawyer and conservationist, is at the forefront of a battle to protect sea turtles along Valencia's coastline, which has been severely impacted by climate change and mass tourism. The Mediterranean's rising temperatures have led to an influx of turtles seeking nesting sites on Valencia's beaches, but these vital habitats are under threat from unchecked development and recent catastrophic floods. Following the floods of 2024, Carla has taken it upon herself to rally her community to restore the coastline and safeguard turtle nests. With the nesting season coinciding with peak tourism, she urgently seeks volunteers to help protect each nest, emphasizing the critical nature of their efforts for the survival of the species.
