About The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary of Escobilla is a protected area located on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is one of the largest nesting sites for the Olive Ridley sea turtle in the world. Every year, hundreds of thousands of sea turtles come to the beaches of Escobilla to lay their eggs.
The sanctuary is managed by the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP) and is dedicated to the conservation of the sea turtles and their habitat. Visitors to the sanctuary can observe the turtles nesting and hatching, and learn about the conservation efforts to protect these endangered animals.
What is the baby sea turtle release about?
Seven of the eight species of sea turtles that exist in the world reach Mexican coasts to lay their eggs. This phenomenon occurs both in the Pacific and in certain parts of the Gulf and the Caribbean. The female turtles look for a good place to make a nest, which they create by digging a hole about 40 to 50 centimeters deep. Once the nest is made, they deposit their fertilized eggs in it and cover them with sand. About two months later, the baby turtles hatch and begin pushing sand to the surface.
