What a beautiful video and what a wonderful project. An inspiration. Thanks for sharing. I have just finished a childrens chapter book to help raise awareness of the Painted Turtle but I will be actively raising awareness for all turtles. They are such magical reptiles. Warmest wishes Marghanita

Kemp Ridleys are very elegant!

@jerles93 Well since it's a film from the United States being shown in the United States, the United States is inclined to point out the parts of the project in the United States. Did that make gramatical sense?

This video is excellent, thank you the the Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept., Dr. Shaver, Ridley and the biologists working with the team for their extraordinary efforts on our behalf!

He saw the video taken in 1947 and that started his journey and struggle, doing the legwork, to get the mexican and US governments involved. They didn't get involved until 10 years later when they saw it was working. "Thanks for getting it started. We'll take it from here."

I love how Texas Parks n Wildlife takes all the credit for saving this majestic animal. There is no mention of my grandfather's brother and sister in law, Dearl and Ethel Adams. He began bringing eggs from Rancho Nuevo in 1966 and took them to S. Padre Island to be hatched and released there.
