Baby sea turtles have been released at a beach in Bali to help preserve the species

21 January 2022

Last Updated Date: Dec 28, 2022


More than 10,000 juvenile turtles were released into the sea off Bali, Indonesia, to help a threatened species and promote environmental preservation.


On Friday, conservation organisations brought crates full of young turtles to the island's Gianyar beach, encouraging locals and volunteers to line up and release the hatchlings together.


The little turtles scrambled across the sand and rocks as the tide swept them.


“It's fantastic to see all of these turtles released into the wild,” said American volunteer Jessica Lieberman.


The Olive Ridley is one of the most common marine turtles, yet its nesting sites are limited. Adults weigh 34-50kg and measure 60-70cm.


Over-harvesting of sea turtle eggs and fishing gear have all contributed to the reduction of sea turtle populations in recent years.


Following a raid on illicit traffickers last month, Bali officials released 25 huge green turtles into the water on Wednesday.


To protect turtles from hotels, Bali Natural Resources and Conservation Centre director Agus Budi Santoso suggested establishing a “green zone” of specified beaches.
