Boracay, a turtle’s paradise, says DENR
Excerpt
Slowly but surely, all the rehabilitation efforts being done by the government in the island of Boracay is paying off. Turtles are heading back to their nesting grounds here. Recently, a total of 142 Olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatchlings were separately released in the much cleaner Boracay waters. The first of the two releases was done last Feb. 2, 2019. Eighty ridley hatchlings were found by employees of Under the Star Luxury Apartment in front of their establishment in the evening of Feb. 1.
