In a heartwarming event at a private beach in Lagos, Nigeria, three endangered sea turtles were released back into the Atlantic Ocean, marking a significant victory for wildlife conservation in the region. The turtles, rescued from local fishermen weeks earlier, were rehabilitated by the Greenfingers Wildlife Conservation Initiative, a group dedicated to protecting Nigeria’s threatened wildlife. The release, which took place last weekend, was witnessed by conservationists, students, and onlookers who cheered as the turtles made their way back to their natural habitat.
