Background

Edgard is named after one of the Gabonese Ecoguards who tagged this turtle. After being trained by Sara Maxwell, she left Edgard Pemo-Makaya and Junior Makanga Bahouna to tag the remaining 12 and they are doing a great job. It would be great to adopt this turtle in support of their hard work!
