We got his photo of a female turtle, looking tired We got his photo of a female turtle, looking tired, on her way back home to the ocean after the grueling task of digging a nest, laying her eggs, and covering and disguising the nest as best she can. One of the Organizations we support estimated that last year they collected eggs from around 240 nests. An average of 100 eggs in each nest would make 24,000 eggs. Considering that only one in 1,000 hatchlings survive, at best, only 24 will make it to maturity. Added to the natural dangers they encounter with climate change and ocean pollution, their chances of survival are even less than that. Conservation efforts are essential to help keep the populations of sea turtles in balance. Our GofFundMe is still up. Please consider donating to help these organizations continue their work. Every little bit helps! #sealife #turtlesofinstagram #seaturtles #savetheturtles

More on our Sea Turtle Conservation efforts: In t More on our Sea Turtle Conservation efforts: In this photo, the eggs have already been gathered and are now placed in an enclosed protected nest area, keeping them safe from predators. All of this is performed by a small community volunteer group. Two groups collect the eggs and move them to a safe area; one goes out at 9 pm and the second at 4 am during the turtles' high nesting season. These folks have been doing this for nearly 20 years; they do it with dedication, and it's all voluntary. And a reminder that our GoFundMe is still going, and you can still contribute to our cause. Funds are needed for upkeeping & replacing part of the protected areas and for equipment for beach cleanup. Please consider donating or sharing this info and helping us get the word out about our campaign. GoFundMe Page : https://gofund.me/e00f225f

In this video, the female turtle is covering up he In this video, the female turtle is covering up her nest. The turtles go into a trance-like state while laying the eggs. So along with using only red light, the turtles are relatively unaware that we are there. The eggs have already been collected here, and the turtle is covering up her nest. She will use all four flippers and then use her body to tamp down the sand, making the nest less apparent to any predators lurking on the beach. This process has been going on for millions of years; now, these animals are endangered by human activity. Our GoFundMe campaign is still active; please check our campaign post and consider donating to our efforts to save the turtles. https://gofund.me/e00f225f

Hey folks! We've started a GoFundMe campaign to r Hey folks! We've started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for 2 Sea Turtle groups in Panama. I've worked with both, and they are great organizations. Here are the baby turtles hatched at one of the conservation sites we support. We use dim red light to minimize any disturbance to the turtles. They stay protected in these hatching areas until they are ready to go out on their own. Please visit our gofundme campaign (link below) and consider donating to help these two groups continue their work. Thank you! #seaturtle #seaturtlerescue #savetheturtles
