Dogs Trained to Sniff out sea Turtle Nests on Italian Beaches

The dogs are trained to sniff out turtle eggs buried in the beach, then alert their handler. The location of the eggs can then be recorded, and the area cordoned off, if necessary. Over the last two decades, experts have recorded an increasing number of nestings along the coasts of Italy, France and Spain. That change led to the creation of Life Turtlenest, a project co-financed by the European Union and coordinated by Italian environmental protection NGO Legambiente with the goal of protecting nests and hatchlings.
