Some turtles can live to well over 100, so they can be forgiven for not getting too excited when their local hatchery celebrates its one-year anniversary on Sunday. The event will mark a significant milestone for conservation efforts here.
The turtle hatchery - a first here - was opened last September at the Sisters' Islands Marine Park to increase the survival rates of hawksbill and green sea turtles, both critically endangered and native to Singapore.
