Hawksbill sea turtle hatchlings surprised tipsy drinkers
Excerpt
A group of tipsy drinkers in Brgy. Yapak, Boracay Island were surprised seeing turtle hatchlings crawl up their legs on the night of February 25, 2020, at around 11:00 o’clock in the evening. Boracay Island once again saw the birth of 90 Hawksbill sea turtle hatchlings -considered critically endangered (CR) species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List. Due to the lights from surrounding houses however, the hatchlings must have been disoriented, followed the light and walked the path to Yapak’s main road instead of heading to the shores.
