4/7 Los primeros reportes de la presencia de la tortuga laúd en el Pacífico mexicano se dieron en los años 70, identificando playas de gran importancia para esta especie. Debido al intenso saqueo de huevo y sacrificio de hembras, las poblaciones disminuyeron dramáticamente.

5/7 En la actualidad, el manejo que se ha dado a esta especie está dirigido principalmente a proteger las nidadas reubicándolas en corrales, para reclutar el mayor número de crías sanas a la población, así como llevar a cabo el monitoreo y estimación de la población anidadora.

6/7 En los años 90 se fortaleció la protección de esta especie en el Pacífico mexicano incluyendo Barra de la Cruz. Pese a ello las anidaciones disminuyeron. No obstante, desde hace dos décadas la tendencia se ha estabilizado en el rango de 150 anidaciones por año en esta playa.

7/7 La tortuga verde del Pacífico se reproduce desde México hasta más allá de Centroamérica. Sus principales sitios de anidación se encuentran en Michoacán. Oaxaca registra anidaciones esporádicas, pero en Barra de la Cruz se llegan a registrar hasta 35 anidaciones por año.

1/7 #SeaturtleTalks #Centromexicanodelatortuga #TurtleTuesday Title: An important role was developed by the Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga CMT in Mazunte, Oaxaca, Mexico .

2/7 Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga, or National Mexican Turtle Center in English (CMT) emerged as an economic and social alternative for the effects of total and permanent ban protection of marine turtles which was enacted in May 1990.

3/7 Our Facilities have given shelter, rehabilitation, and recovery to countless sea turtles wildlife that are affected by human activities such as inadequate management of solid waste, bycatch. The visitors are sensitized about the impact that they themselves can cause.

4/7 #Sanidadteam The team that takes care of the turtles on a daily basis; Rafael Villanueva, Carmelo Ambrosio, Albeto Jarquín, Elpidio Marcelino López, Directora, Biól. Edda Gónzalez Castillo #Centromexicanodelatortuga .

5/7 With the information provided by the Center's staff, the visitors can be transformed into a powerful environmental education tool. Research of another nature has also been carried out and published, such as the recording of sounds emitted by the embryos at hatching.

6/7 Throughout its history the CMT has formed teams of specialists, both in the clinical management of organisms in captive conditions, and in the management of wild turtles. A team with many years of experience in environmental education and nature tourism management.

7/7 The Center for the management of wild species are also an opportunity to learn about aspects of the biology that in other way would be impossible to observe. Furthermore, in some cases reserves for the reintroduction of organisms into decimated populations are possible.

All tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises. So happy #WorldTurtleDay from the Galops.

Good News! Hatchlings of the world’s smallest sea turtle species have been discovered in Louisiana for the first time in 75 years 🐢 proving that #conservation efforts are critical to restoring our planet's wildlife Read more➡️bit.ly/3dMiLXg #GenerationRestoration
