It’s been 10 long years since any leatherback turtles have been released in Los Cabos. Due to that lengthy hiatus, it was feared that this species was at the point of no return, but we’re thrilled to share some recent news.
Last weekend, 17 baby leatherback turtles were released into the Sea of Cortez from the shores of La Ribera, located right next door to Costa Palmas. Another four nests are currently in the same area, waiting to hatch.
