Between July and November, sea turtles arrive on Baja California Sur's beaches to nest. Conservationists work to protect eggs and hatchlings amid threats from pollution, predators, and human activity.

Every year, several species of sea turtles return to the coast of Baja California Sur to complete a vital stage in their life cycle—nesting and reproduction. From July through November, the beaches of this northwestern Mexican state become the temporary home to hundreds of sea turtles that crawl ashore under the cover of night to lay their eggs in the sand.
