Turtle Islands Wildlife Sanctuary

WHS Score 0.0 Votes 0
Six of the nine islands belonging to the Philippines at the fringes of the Sulu Sea comprise this nominated property; the other 3 islands are administered by Malaysia with potential to be a transnational nomination. The islands are the most important nesting ground of two species of marine turtles – green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbiricata). The islands also host a remarkable biodiversity of terrestrial and marine flora and fauna, including birds, reptiles, sea grasses, fishes, and corals.
