Following the lead of our last article, let’s continue on the turtle subject. We are very excited with the upcoming Turtle Festival happening on June 22nd.
The event is being organized by the Olive Ridley Project team, and will take place at Hithaadhoo, a local island here in Baa Atoll.
With the support of resorts and diving centers, the event will bring together children from all around Baa Atoll to have a day of education and fun at Hithaadhoo island. There will be stalls with games and activities, presentations held by environmental organizations, music, art competition and food, of course. The aim is to have an educational day to raise awareness of the threats to sea turtles.
We will come back with the highlights of the Turtle Festival at the end of this month. Keep an eye at our blog!
For now, we leave you with some fun facts about sea turtles.
