Activities
In 1998, ECOFAC the Program for the Biodiversity and Ecosystems Conservation of Central Africa, funded by European Union, created PROGRAMA TATÔ, with the purpose of protecting sea turtles. But later in 2002, ECOFAC passed on to MARAPA, a recent created local NGO, Programa Tatô's coordination. For years, MARAPA had the support of several national and international organizations. Over the years, Programa Tatô team has grown and the coordination team has been taking shape.
20 years later, in 2018, everything changed, Programa Tatô was no longer just a project. The coordination team, with the particularity of being multidisciplinary and multicultural, with the support and encouragement of its technical and financial partners decided to give more autonomy and sustainability to this program and created a National NGO, the ASSOCIATION PROGRAMA TATÔ, thus maintaining the name, already known by all communities, national authorities, civil society, as well as internationally.
