Baby sea turtles of the Olive Ridley species walk on the sand towards the waters of the Pacific Ocean after being released during a sunset on the beach of Barra de Santiago, in Ahuachapan, El Salvador, on October 15, 2022. For more than 45 years, women from the beach of La Barra de Santiago have helped conserve sea turtles, making this coastal area with more hatchlings of released turtles per year, and helping to reduce the sale of eggs on the black market. Every day they involve people from the community, turtle farmers, boatmen and women from the Association of Women of the Barra de Santiago (AMBAS), who are dedicated to caring for sea turtle hatcheries, and report more than 80,000 protected eggs each year.
