Pawikan Conservation Center

August 30, 2015: Conservation awareness trip. For this road trip, we drove all the way to Morong, Bataan to visit the Pawikan Conservation Center. The pawikan (sea turtle/tortoise) was listed as an endangered species because its shell and meat was being hunted by poachers.  According to the center, September is the time of the year when the pawikans come and lay their eggs. The center helps them hatch these eggs and later send them back to their natural habitat as soon as they are ready.

We are happy to know that there are still people or individuals who dedicate their time and effort to help protect and grow what mother nature had given us.  Keep up the good work!
