Conserving Green Turtles in Pangombahan Beach, Ujung Genteng, Indonesia Far from the crowded city life, in a very natural habitat, you’ll find the green turtles visiting Pangombahan beach in the evenings. The long hours wait for them to lay their eggs is really worth seeking as you don’t see this in everyday life. Flipping their flippers into the sand, it could take like three hours to finish opening up a whole and then another couple of hours to lay hundred of eggs and cover them back with sand. Just to see these eggs hatched into cute baby turtles that the locals called ‘tukik’ the next day is really fascinating. In less then twenty-four hours these cuties are released into the wild hoping they would survive and come back the following years. Just can’t wait to see them again.
