Beidao Island in Sansha, Hainan, is China's largest natural nesting ground for green sea turtles. From June to August, adult females return to these shores to lay their eggs. Year-round, the island also provides a safe haven for injured turtles to recover before returning to the sea. Some arrive injured by fishing nets or weakened by marine debris. With dedicated care, they get a second chance at life. Over the past five years, the local conservation center has rescued more than 1,000 turtles. Join us to see how these marine creatures are protected, and follow their journey home.
