TUGUEGARAO CITY — Five Asian box turtles were released to the river in Santa Margarita, Baggao, Cagayan, on Feb. 2 in an activity that coincided with the World Wetlands Day, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Region 2 (Cagayan Valley) said in a belated report on Feb. 4.
The tortoises were surrendered to the Alcala and Solana community environment offices, whose heads then turned over these creatures to the DENR Region 2 Rogelio Baggayan Nature Park and Wildlife Center in this city for proper care and treatment.
