Baula Turtle
Costa Rica has the Baula Turtles in Playa Grande this is in The Pacific Ocean. The Baula turtle is bigger turtle in the world. Their sizes can reach up to 180cm, and 500kg in weight. Their habitats are open water and coastal habitats. Their status is critically endangered, because the population around the world is approximately 34 000 nesting females. In Playa Grande the Baula turtle fall of 1367 in 1988-1989 an only 52 in 2004-2005. In addiction, The Republic Government and others Associations work together for preservation of this specie. Many people work in education and conservation, but these activities are not easy. Also, a lot of people have donated money for purchase of lands and programs of environmental protection. I know the Baula turtle it is a big animal and has mystic beauty. Probably, our children won’t know them.
