Today, six out of the seven species of sea turtles are endangered. And most of it is because of human exploitation of natural resources. Thankfully, this hatchery has taken the onus to protect them. They start with keeping an eye on the nesting mother turtles, bringing their eggs to the secure environment of the hatchery and finally releasing the baby turtles into the sea on the day of their birth. However, if there are complications, they tend to them and release them only once they’re fit to go into the vast ocean
