Turtles are an integral part of marine ecosystems, and the Cook Islands is home to a few species, including the endangered Green Turtle and the critically endangered Hawksbill turtles.
These incredible reptiles play crucial roles in maintaining the health of coral reefs by controlling the populations of jellyfish and algae, as well as contributing to the overall biodiversity of the ocean.
The Cook Islands, a tropical paradise, has historically been a sanctuary for these majestic creatures, with nesting sites spread across various islands.
