- newspaper articles reporting the news of the project and the species
- regular appearances in the media (TV, internet, ...)
- support tools for the management of tortoise habitats.
All these communication tools are addressed not only to the actors and public buildings, but also aim to have a national and European dimension in order to contribute to the conservation of the Hermann’s tortoise throughout its range .
