In our interview with Le Meridien Bora Bora's Sales and Marketing Director, Nicolas Orget, he was very enthusiastic about the hotel's Turtle Sanctuary which helps baby turtles mature away from harm.

And some good news: this past weekend 59 baby green sea turtles were born at the resort.

The turtles weigh less than 1 oz and are about 2 inches in length. These eggs were actually brought to the Turtle Sanctuary by poachers and the Sanctuary's caretaker made a nest for them at the resort. The baby turtles will stay in the nursery for one year and in the resort's interior lagoon until they are 2 or 3 years old.

Awwww....
