Rescuing marine turtles is conserving biodiversity. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) deems t important for people to report rescued marine turtles and other animals to the authorities. A female Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) was rescued in Sito Lacaran, Barangay Ermita, Dumangas, Iloilo around 9 p.m. of Aug. 12.
