Olive Ridley Sea Turtle

When the odds are stacked against you— and it’s estimated that only 1 in 1,000 sea turtle hatchlings survives to adulthood— every moment matters.

In Los Cabos, Baja California, dedicated individuals like Miguel Ángel Cruz Ramos as well as organizations such as ASUPMATOMA, spend long hours relocating new nests, creating sea turtle nurseries, and facilitating hatchling releases. During the nesting season, sites are monitored daily and play a critical role in conservation as suitable nesting beaches are becoming increasingly rare worldwide.
