Turtle Farm

Saona, the home of the sea turtles

In the Dominican Republic, the island of Saona plays a key role in the reproduction of sea turtles, as females come here to lay their eggs on the beach.

However, sea turtles are threatened with extinction because they have many enemies.

In the village of Mano Juan, in the Eastern National Park (Parque Nacional del Este), there is a "turtle farm" which was established to protect endangered sea turtles.

Dominicans fighting for the survival of turtles collecting the eggs and take them to the "turtle reserve" in Mano Juan.
