National “Let’s Save the Sea Turtle” Drawing Contest, now in its eighth
edition. The contest is directed towards elementary school children (from 1st
through 6th grade).
According
to Ricardo Villaseñor, coordinator of the Campamento Tortuguero El Naranjo, the
purpose of this traditional event that attracts more participants every year is
to promote the conservation of sea turtles and the ecosystems in which they breed
and grow, in addition to supporting artistic and social values in new
generations.
The
recently announced rules stated the contest will take place entirely at a
distance via social networks such as Facebook and WhatsApp, in keeping with the
measures issued by the Federal Government of Mexico and the state and municipal
governments in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. This will maintain social
distancing and avoids a large influx of people. The call extends out to the
entire national territory.

“For
us it is very important that from a young age the inhabitants of the region
understand the importance of preserving the four species of sea turtles that
nest on our beaches (olive Ridley, green, hawksbill, leatherback), some of
which are in danger of extinction,” he said.
