The initiative is a result of the collaboration between The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, The regional government (Generalitat Valenciana) and Global Nature.
The 12 galapagos from the species Emys orbicularis released today are young specimens grown captivity.
The specimens previously reintroduced have found in the natural space of L’Albufera an ideal place to reproduce.
This initiative ensures the continuity of the Management and Conservation Initiatives for European Galapagos populations Programme by which the “LIFE Trachemis” project is regulated.
