In response to the numerous complaints we have received with regard to the handling of hatchling at Sea Turtle Festivals in some areas of Mexico, Mexiconservación has initiated a petition to call on the federal authorities to prohibit this type of release and establish regulations with regard to sea turtle protection efforts and sea turtle tourism, to determine once and for all what activities are permissible when dealing with these endangered species.
