SAN JUAN, Batangas —Aboitiz Land has released more than 1,100 Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings along the shores of Seafront Residences as it marked the eighth year of its Pawikan Conservation Project.
The hatchling release forms part of the company’s environmental conservation initiative aimed at protecting natural turtle nesting sites along the coastline of San Juan, Batangas. The program is implemented in partnership with the Aboitiz Foundation and with scientific guidance from the University of the Philippines Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology. Aboitiz Land said the project, which began as a developer-led effort to protect sea turtle nests, has grown into a community-driven initiative involving residents, local volunteers, and youth groups who participate in nest monitoring and hatchling releases.
“The Pawikan Conservation Project has evolved into a broader initiative that weaves environmental stewardship into everyday community life,” said Farrah Niña Mayol, senior assistant vice president for corporate communications, branding, and CSR of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land. She added that the initiative encourages residents to take part in conservation efforts, promoting sustainable living within the community.
