These little creatures on their way into the ocean for the first time have been looked after by the Sea Turtle Farm & Hatchery in Southern Sri Lanka. This rare species are facing extinction, so after the babies are hatched, they are kept safe from sea predators until they’re strong enough to have a fighting chance in the ocean.
The non-for-profit institution in Habaraduwa is located near the beautiful beach of Galle district and has released more than 500,000 sea turtles into the ocean since 1986.
