We Need to Talk About How Amazing the Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project Is
Everybody loves turtles, that’s just a given. But did you know that Dubai’s very own Burj Al Arab hotel has a turtle rehabilitation center inside it? Probably not. Well, let us take a few moments of your precious time and tell you all about The Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project. Located in Jumeirah, the project aims to rehabilitate sick and injured turtles and eventually return them to their natural habitat.
The DTRP has been running in its current form since 2004 and has so far seen the release of over 560 rescued sea turtles back into Dubai’s waters. The center promotes awareness and better understanding to the issues with this endangered species.
Here are some cute pictures of the turtles they’ve treated that’ll give you life:
