Christmas Island National Park -- Green sea turtle hatchling
 | Parks Australia -- Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities Today we celebrate turtles To mark World Turtle Day - today, May 23 - our Parks staff have pulled together a short video in celebration of these wonderful marine reptiles. The video was taken on Christmas Island, home to two species of turtles - the green turtle and the hawksbill. Unlike mainland areas of Australia where turtle nesting usually takes place between October and November, nesting is a year-round activity on Christmas Island. This little hatchling is a green sea turtle. World Turtle Day helps increase awareness and knowledge of turtles and tortoises around the globe.
