Help save 500,000 sea turtle hatchlings in Yucatan
Organization information
Pronatura Peninsula de Yucatan A.C.
Location: Merida, Mexico
Summary
Each year, this project protects 79 km of nesting beaches in the Yucatan Peninsula to ensure the development and emergence of endangered hawksbill and green sea turtle hatchlings from an average of 2,358 nests. We conduct daily night surveys during the seven months of the nesting season to protect these nests from depredation, poaching, and wave-action, and increase their chance of survival.
