Mexico is the nesting ground for at least 5 out of 7 sea turtle species worldwide. Between the months of May to September, in the popular Mexican vacation towns of Tulum and Cancun,, endangered turtles like the loggerhead and green turtles are setting up nests on the beach. Volunteers, like the one in our next film, Aurora (Dawn), patrol the nests to make sure every baby turtle makes it to safety. There sanctuary is one of the largest in the country, so come along to see what it takes to help protect one species at the brink of extinction.

This is Aurora (Dawn) from filmmaker Emilio Alverez. Special thanks to Jackson Wild.
