Is Con Dao hawksbill turtle nesting happening right now?

As of today, peak season now, through ~October 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Con Dao National Park is one of Vietnam’s largest and most successful sea turtle nesting areas.

Female marine turtles, primarily green turtles and smaller numbers of hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), come ashore at night to dig nests and lay eggs.

The park runs guided, limited-capacity turtle-watching and hatchling-release programs that are managed for conservation and visitor impact control.
