These magnificent creatures have always been a focal point for international organizations dedicated to conserving endangered animal species, especially due to their crucial role in maintaining the health of the marine ecosystem, including coral reefs.
On average, hawksbills nest three times per season, with a 15-day interval between each nesting. The hatchlings emerge from their eggs approximately 60 to 70 days later and are typically guided towards the sea by environmental experts.
Fortunately, the natural predators of the hawksbill turtles, such as foxes and mongooses, are absent from the shores of Kish Island. In addition, a dedicated turtle conservation site is active on the island to protect the population of this endangered species.
Situated some 18 kilometers away from Iran’s mainland, Kish Island spans an area of 92 square kilometers.
