Rangers help baby sea turtles on Con Dao

Con Dao is a group of islands in the south of Vietnam. From April to November, mother sea turtles come to its beaches. At night, each mother digs a nest and lays her eggs.

Park rangers watch the beaches all night. They use red lights, because red light does not bother turtles. Rangers measure the mother and give her a tag. Then they carefully move her eggs to safe nests. There, the eggs are safer from the sea and hungry animals.
