Mr. Friendly Goes Home from WildAid on Vimeo.
Endangered sea turtles are threatened by a myriad of human activities, from ocean trash to poaching for their meat and eggs. Thankfully, Mr. Friendly was rescued by Machalilla marine rangers in Ecuador, who immediately brought him to the nearby wildlife hospital – the only facility of its kind and one of our partners. After two whole years of treatment and rehabilitation, Mr. Friendly was released back to the wild.

If you didn’t have the chance, a donation today would still mean the world to Mr. Friendly.
