Dubai, April 2011: The Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project (DTRP) has successfully rehabilitated and returned 100 critically endangered Hawksbill Turtles back to their natural habitat in celebration of World Earth Day.
Following several months of rehabilitation at Burj Al Arab and Madinat Jumeirah, the turtles were released by 100 children; many of the children were selected through a competition run on the DTRP Facebook page in the week before the release.
