Sea Turtle Farm and Hatchery - Habaraduwa

Sri Lanka's long coastal beaches often have sea turtles. To protect the world's rare animals, the government has funded a non-profit turtle hatchery along the coast, collecting turtle eggs on the beach, hatching small turtles, adopting disabled turtles, and opening them to tourists for a fee. Entered a hatching field, the area is not too large, one side is a sand altar, a small sand bag under the breeding of small life, a small wooden sign marked the variety of small life and the hatching time; On one side is a row of courtyards, and there are a group of small turtles and a disabled turtle in the pool water tank. Go around and see, quite increase knowledge. Tips: Turtles are egg animals, and the hatching period is divided into different varieties. After birth, the male baby is 6 months old and the female baby is released to the sea after 3 years.

It is especially worth visiting. I also saw many people bring children to play. You can see the turtle from the turtle egg to becoming a sea turtle. It is particularly interesting and a place with great environmental significance.

Very interesting trip, you can get close to turtles, turtles of large and small, a very environmentally friendly place, for the turtles rebreeding and breeding has a very important place

@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, Habaraduwa Habaraduwa Turtle Incubation and Conservation Center Sea Turtle Research & Conservtion Center Incubation Plant is a non-profit organization. Since its establishment in 1986, 500,000 turtles have been released. Here you can learn about the whole process of turtles from birth and growth to adulthood. The pavilion is a bit rudimentary, with unhatched villains on display, and the hatching period changes in about 60 days. There are disabled turtles (reared manually, no longer released), albino turtles in the pool

The agency belongs to a conservation agency, and it can be seen from a few days to a few years old. Of course, if you want to contact small turtles, you need to clean them and not bring any greasy, otherwise the turtles will not survive. In addition, you can see the turtle eggs that have just been laid, and you can watch the turtle eggs at night if you have time.

Sri Lanka has a long coastline, and there are a wide variety of turtles inhabiting it, which is a sea turtle paradise. The turtles will climb on the beach at night, pick a soft beach they like to lay turtle eggs and leave, about 45 days later the turtle will be born, and with natural instincts to the direction of the sea, return to nature. But because local residents will pick up turtle eggs, seabirds and other natural enemies will also eat turtle eggs and small turtles, various factors affect the survival of these precious marine life. To protect sea turtles, along the coastline of Sri Lanka, the government has established many sea turtle conservation centers to spread turtle conservation knowledge, adopt injured sea turtles and hatch and stock small sea turtles. Tickets are 500 rupees/person, and there will be special people to explain. There are many small wooden signs in the sand, and below are the turtles in the hatching, all indicating the species and dates. There are young and injured turtles. There are seven species of sea turtles (skin turtles, turtles, scorpion, olive green scale turtles, green sea turtles, lizard turtles and peace turtles) in the world, and five species can be seen in Sri Lanka. The turtles are injured, some blind, some missing arms and legs, bitten by sharks, or hooked by nets. Also teach us to protect wildlife!

Sea Turtle Hatchery Very simple, tickets are not cheap, but it is worth supporting! There are some injured turtles, some are not serious, after recovery of vitality, return to the sea, some serious injuries can only live here for a long time, Sri Lanka is poor but the treatment of marine animals is still very advanced
