It is crazy to say, but the recent pandemic has had numerous good effects on our planet. We as humans have always had problems messing up nature, and without our normal activities, the environment is thriving!

This article will show some pictures of endangered turtles who hatched on a deserted beach.

While we’ve all been cooped up, the world feels like it has shut down.

Many people have passed away from the deadly virus, and the end doesn’t seem near.

Many countries are locking completely down…

Countries like Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and even some states in the US are experiencing a big shutdown.

Staying indoors is not only saving lives.

It might also be saving the environment.

Empty streets, less trash, and less human impact are allowing the

The human race has hurt Planet Earth many times over the vast span of history.

Levels of pollution are way down.

Many areas of the world have seen a huge drop in pollution because of all the lockdowns.

China has some absolutely crazy statistics on the environment.

The city of Wuhan is known for being the center of the first coronavirus outbreak. The city went on complete lockdown in January, and it’s overall nitrogen dioxide levels have plummeted.

Nature has been showing itself more and more in our absence. Bottlenose dolphins were spotted in the canals of Venice which are normally packed full of tourists.

Many endangered animals are taking advantage of the lockdowns.

Especially this cool thing happening in Brazil!

You won’t believe this!

A week ago on March the 22nd, a small beachhead in Paulista, Brazil saw many endangered turtles being born on the beach.

This beach is normally crawling with tourists.

But in recent weeks, the beach has been left completely deserted after the state governor Paulo Câmara ordered a partial shutdown in the area, urging residents to stay indoors and restricting them from gathering on beaches.

In recent times, the beach hasn’t been occupied at all because of the partial shutdown in the city. Paulo Camara, state governor, told everyone to stay inside and clear off the beach.

Without tourists, nature has thrived.

Ninety-seven hawksbill sea turtles broke free from their shells and took their first cautious steps towards the Atlantic ocean, with almost no one around to witness the scene.

A group of hawksbill sea turtles hatched on the beach and wandered towards the Atlantic ocean. Sadly, no one really even saw the miracle.

These Hawksbill sea turtles are an extremely endangered species.

A report by the WWF focused on how the species of Hawksbill turtles maintains the coral reefs because they eat the sponges. The turtles also open up access points for the fish to move throughout the reef.

What a special moment!

There were a few government officials who were working and scrambled to the beachhead to take pictures of the rare event.

The turtles received a little help from an unexpected source.

There was a report by the City Hall of Paulista that mentioned some work by a few technicians. These individuals were part of the Urban Sustainability Center and helped the animals get to the water.

Birds are extremely dangerous for these baby turtles.

One of the biggest risks that face a baby turtle is being crushed by an unaware beachgoer, so these babies already have a stronger chance of thriving.

But, another huge risk is the tourists that take up a bunch of beach space. These baby turtles have a better chance of surviving because the beaches are empty.

This just goes to show how often we don’t think about the way we treat our planet.

These turtles are such a good example of how we as humans should take some time to consider our effects on the environment.
