    Sea Turtles struggle for a comeback

    By seeitnow  |  Posted August 24, 2010  |  El Barrio Beach, El Salvador
     

    Every single one of the world's sea turtle species is listed as either  threatened or endangered. Four of the world's six endangered sea turtles  species lay their eggs on El Salvador's beaches. The most common  species in El Salvador is the Olive Ridley and Barra de Santiago is one  of its few remaining major breeding sites. In El Salvador, FUNZEL  (Zoological Foundation of El Salvador) leads the way in the conservation  of turtles and other at risk species. Last year, FUNZEL recovered  nearly 1,000,000 turtle eggs. I caught up with FUNZEL's VP, Rodrigo, to  find out more about the organization's turtle conservation efforts and  we even spotted a female Olive Ridley on the beach.
