4,500 baby olive ridley turtles released in Cabo San Lucas as part of conservation effort
The Marine Turtle Protection Network, headed by Carlos Villalobos, has taken an important step in the conservation of the olive ridley turtle with the release of 4,500 hatchlings on the coasts of Cabo San Lucas in a single day. This effort is part of a series of nightly releases, with the expectation of releasing around 14,000 hatchlings in the coming days.
Villalobos shared the success of this release through his social networks, where he thanked the commitment of the volunteers and members of the Protection Network. "It is an arduous and noble task," he said, recognizing the tireless work of those who are dedicated to the preservation of this endangered species.
The release of hatchlings is a crucial action for the survival of the olive ridley turtle, which faces great challenges due to human activity and climate change. These initiatives not only seek to mitigate risks, but also to raise awareness about the importance of protecting marine species.
With the collaboration of volunteers and experts, the Marine Turtle Protection Network continues to work to ensure that more turtles can reach the ocean, increasing their chances of survival and contributing to the conservation of this emblematic species of the coasts of Baja California Sur.
