Plastic pollution is having devastating effects on the Aldabra Atoll World Heritage Site and the local wildlife. Conservation biologist April Burt was awarded a WINGS WorldQuest Flag Carrier grant for an expedition to tackle the issue of plastic pollution on Aldabra through action, education and research.
A key focus of the Aldabra Clean-Up Project (ACUP) was to remove plastic pollution from the endangered green turtle nesting beaches and key tortoise grazing areas along the south coast. Over five intensive weeks, Burt led a team of six Oxford graduates and six young Seychellois conservationists in removing more than 26 tons of plastic from the Aldabra coast and developing mitigation strategies to help prevent more plastic pollution.
