Mexico releases over 200 million turtles: By: Deyzya Hardeman

Recently in Mexico, there was over 200 million turtle hatchling and they let them all go! How wonderful is that? But this didn't just happen all at one time, it has been occuring for the past six years. The government noticed that the numbers rose from 200,000 hatchlings in 1973 to over 1.5 million in 2012. Mexico ended up spending more that 11 million dollars to help these turtles out through corperations and eco-groups! Now they can all be a peace in the beach!

    It's kind of unexpected that a government would spend extra money to do something like that!

    It's great they help so many of them survive. Turtles are usually killed when they hatch so it's great that 2 million survived.
