Dhiraagu has signed as the Digital Partner for Vaavoshi Turtle Festival 2022, the first multi-atoll festival to take place in the Maldives.
Organised by the Olive Ridley Project, the festival will take place on October 29 across nine islands. The Vaavoshi Turtle Festival will be held in collaboration with the schools of these islands, with the participation of students up to Grade 12. The aim of the festival is to celebrate the sea turtle population in the Maldives while highlighting and raising awareness about the threats
that sea turtles and other marine life faces in the country.
Festival activities include beach clean-ups, Conservation Conversations awareness sessions by various environmental organisations, and a Vaavoshi Festival Rally where students will pledge to protect sea turtles. Additionally, earlier this month, a nationwide poster design competition was open for students as well.
