By releasing turtles back into the wild, the group seeks to create a more environmentally friendly tourism model that respects and preserves the natural balance of the area.

The organizers believe that by focusing on the conservation of local wildlife, they can attract tourists who are interested in supporting sustainable and eco-friendly activities.
