Turtle Hatchery in Kosgoda
Sri Lankan beaches are prime locations for a few varieties of turtles to use as nesting grounds. Over the past few years, conservationists realised that the number of turtles appearing on these beaches lessened by the month, thus putting the lives of these species in harm’s way. Thus began the efforts to procure these few eggs left behind in order to ensure their survival. Kosgoda hatchery is a location in which such an effort is made.
