\"Sea<\/p>\n

When people think of Cancun real estate<\/a>, the first thing that comes to mind is high-rise condos on the beach, along with malls, large international stores, etc. Ecology is not usually one of the first things that comes to mind.<\/p>\n

Yet, it’s important to note that caring for the environment and being responsible with surroundings is an important part of life in Cancun, and can actually take place right in front of that condo you bought on the beach (such as these ones<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Protecting Sea Turtle Eggs and Babies<\/b><\/p>\n

How? Well, for one consider the sea turtles.\u00c2\u00a0 Even though Cancun’s beachfront has been mostly developed, the beaches are still a main nesting ground for these beautiful creatures, especially right now \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the middle and last half of September.<\/p>\n

Part of the annual nesting season is to protect the areas where nests have been made under the sand (to keep people from walking over and damaging the eggs, as well as to prevent poaching).<\/p>\n

The Release of the Babies\u00c2\u00a0\"Sea<\/b><\/p>\n

Likewise when the baby turtles hatch, the public can participate in protecting them as the make their first dangerous journey to the sea; before they get to the sea, many things can happen, such as being eaten by birds, or \u00e2\u20ac\u201c worse \u00e2\u20ac\u201c stepped on by people, etc. Since these turtles are a species in danger, it is worth protecting the babies even from natural predators.<\/p>\n

There is usually an event to kick off this process to bring attention to it and to get people excited about it.<\/p>\n

If I understand correctly, the events of releasing and protecting newly hatched turtles will take place from now until Sept. 30.<\/p>\n
