Bawah will change you! And probably will stay with you for life! #bawahreserve #bawah #indonesia #island #hotel #privateisland #resort
Although sea turtles are protected by international law, they continue to suffer poaching and their eggs are far from safe! When we started giving nature a hand back in 2019, relocating eggs at risk and protecting them until hatched, we would never have believed that 5 years later we would be celebrating over 4000 baby hatchlings safely released into the sea! Say yes! Give it a try! It might just work!! 🐢 #bawahreserve #bawah #indonesia #turtle
