BÌNH THUẬN — Three rare sea turtles, including two hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) and one green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), were released into the waters off Phan Thiết City, the south central province of Bình Thuận on June 26.

A local, who had kept the turtles for years, voluntarily handed them to the provincial Department of Fisheries after learning that they are endangered species. Losing their hunting instinct for being held captive in fresh water, they were then transferred to the Dầu Tiếng wildlife conservation station for care.

The reptiles were in good conditions at the time they returned to the nature.
