Turtle hatchlings face hazards even before they hatch. From the moment their eggs are deposited in the sand, predators begin eyeing these tasty morsels, be they animals or humans. Once the eggs hatch, hatchlings risk getting caught by birds, crabs and fishes as they race into the ocean, sometimes clambering over mountainous rubbish.

More Turtle Guardians patrolling beaches mean that we can get to the eggs before poachers or other animals do. These eggs are brought back to the hatchery for incubation. Once hatched, hatchlings are released into the ocean at night where there are less predators to increase their chances of survival.

Help hatchlings get a better chance at surviving by putting more Turtle Guardians on ground! Please donate at http://pandashop.my/turtleguardian/
