What great news to celebrate World Turtle Day yesterday! Take a look at these 78 baby turtles hatched from the first green turtle nest at WWF-Malaysia's Setiu site yesterday.
It is estimated that only one marine turtle out of 1,000 eggs will survive to adulthood under natural conditions.
Marine turtles need all the help they can get to survive. Join us to save this endangered species by not consuming turtle eggs to keep them alive and free in the ocean.
