Elewana AfroChic Diani adds another turtle nest to our hatchery

March began with excitement as a new Turtle trails coming up from the sea leading onto our beach area. The team followed the trails and ended up in another Turtle's nest making it our second nest of season 2018. We have protected the nest and straight away the count begins.

We expect this to hatch beginning of May. The first nest in our turtle hatchery for 2018 was placed on 10th February with over a hundred eggs in the beach. We're hoping they'll hatch in approximately two months. although this does depends on the weather. The sex of a turtle is determined by the temperature of the nest and in most cases, eggs from warmer nests hatch as all females.

Stay tuned for updates as we work to save these endangered species and bring you exciting news from our hatchery!
