A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to observe one of the most incredible nature events: the birth and release into the sea of dozens of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas). It was extremely gratifying to witness this phenomenon. Sea turtles are an ancient group of animals, they were adapted to live at the sea like around 100 million years ago. Incredibly, it seems that their shape and characteristics of life have changed very little since then, becoming true memories from the time of the dinosaurs. This activity took place at Cahuita National Park, in the Caribbean side of Costa Rica and its part of one of the many conservation and research projects of WIDECAST (Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network).
