Over and above the PCAs, the Positive Agenda and the MCC, is Alcoa involved with other environmental conservation initiatives in the region?
Yellow-spotted turtles, six-tubercled river turtles and South American river turtles from Juruti form part of the management and conservation work carried out by the Turtles of the Amazon Project. This initiative and three other environmental projects comprise the Turtle Integrated Management Program, a partnership between Alcoa and the Chico Mendes Institute for the Conservation of Biodiversity (ICMbio) and the Brazilian Association for the Conservation of Turtles (Pró-Tartaruga). In 2008, the project returned more than 7,700 young turtles to rivers and lakes in the Juruti region.
