The Arnavon Islands are an important nesting site for the endangered hawksbill and green sea turtle species. Thanks to the efforts of The Nature Conservancy and local communities, the number of nesting sea turtles has doubled in the past 20 years. To aid in the process, conservation monitors protect the turtles’ nests from predation. Watch newly hatched turtles make their way to the sea in this inspiring video from Seedlight Pictures.

The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic’s mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the National Geographic Society.
Know of a great short film that should be part of our Showcase? Email SFS@ngs.org to submit a video for consideration.
