Adopted sea turtles

The pawikans released during the said activity were hatchlings adopted by Suzuki Philippines Incorporated during its first visit to the conservation center as part of its Fronx media drive.

According to the Pawikan Conservation Center, their conservation efforts have yielded encouraging results with a total of 9,468 pawikan eggs — out of 100 nests — safely secured.

From the abovementioned, 8,713 baby turtles successfully hatched, demonstrating the impact of sustained conservation work and community partnerships.

“By working together with organizations like the Pawikan Conservation Center, Suzuki Philippines remains committed to being by the side of communities, nature, and future generations,” the brand wrote.
