Our Pacific and Caribbean beaches receive different species of sea turtles that come to nest: gigantic leatherback sea turtles and green sea turtles come to Tortuguero, as well as smaller ones, such as loggerhead and hawksbill turtles. They make a hole in the beach sand, leave hundreds of eggs and leave without looking back. The temperature of the nest defines the sex of the turtle; deforestation increases the female population, and therefore affects reproduction in general. The babies must survive many predators. To begin, these predators are not only human and domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, but also carnivorous mammals from raccoons to jaguars, large birds, such as birds of prey, and large fish, such as sharks. For this reason, the probability of arriving to reproduction age (30 years) is low.
