A GROUP OF BABY TURTLES CRAWL INTO THE SEA IN BEACH OSTIONAL

A group of baby turtles crawl into the sea after being freed by residents of
Ostional Beach in Santa Cruz, 350 miles north of the capital San Jose, Costa
Rica, early October 23, 2003. More that 5 million turtles hatched this week
and it is believed the turtles imprint their release location to return to
lay their own eggs in the future. Only ten percent of them are expected to
survive to become adults. PP03100122 NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE REUTERS/Juan Carlos

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a heartwarming scene unfolds as a group of baby turtles embark on their incredible journey into the vast sea. Captured in Beach Ostional, Santa Cruz, Costa Rica, these tiny creatures are being set free by caring residents. The image showcases the delicate balance between human intervention and nature's course. The sheer number of hatchlings is awe-inspiring; over 5 million turtles hatched during this particular week. It is believed that these remarkable creatures imprint their release location to return years later and lay their own eggs. However, the odds are stacked against them as only ten percent of these resilient beings are expected to survive long enough to reach adulthood. Juan Carlos Ulate skillfully captures this poignant moment where hope and uncertainty intertwine. The photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving fragile ecosystems and protecting endangered species like these precious turtles. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but marvel at the resilience and determination displayed by these little warriors venturing into an unknown world. Their journey symbolizes both the fragility and strength inherent in all living beings—a testament to life's intricate tapestry. This powerful snapshot invites us to reflect on our role in safeguarding our planet's biodiversity for future generations so that scenes like this can continue to inspire awe and wonderment for years to come.
