Olive Ridley and Leatherback Turtle hatchlings at the Pretoma hatchery, Caletas, Costa Rica. The turtles hatch at night in the hatchery. Volunteers transfer them to the beach where the hatchlings then walk into the water. During the day the old nests are exhumed and any surviving hatchlings are taken to the water. I volunteered with PRETOMA 29/12/11-10/1/12. Music ‘Y Tú Qué Has Hecho’ – Buena Vista Social Club.
