Turtle release program in Riviera Nayarit


Oct 2008, Bucerias

Local realtor helps save our turtles. Carol Davenport, www.dpreimx@yahoo.com a Dallas real estate broker working in the Mexican state of Nayarit, participates in the release of endangered Olive Ridley turtles. Davenport, other Americans and Mexican families work with government agencies to first protect the turtle eggs (which are illegally sold as an aphrodisiac) and then to release the hatchlings into the Pacific Ocean. Only one in 1,000 will survive and return.
