June marks the third month of our nesting season and also the beginning of the hatching season! In other words, this is the month where baby turtles start breaking their eggs to come out of the nest and start their journey into the ocean.
By the end of June, our team has released 6,349 hawksbill hatchlings. Baby green turtles hatch by late July or early August.
Also, from April to June, our team protected 1,777 hawksbill nests and 367 green turtle nests. We still have four months left of the nesting season and, our team is still working hard to protect the nests so that more hatchlings can enter the sea.
With your continued support, we can reach our goal of saving 500,000 sea turtle hatchlings. Please consider becoming a monthly donor and share our project with your friends.
