Environmental adviser Esteban Gonzalez Pons said all the turtles were numbered and on the checklist, and called on nature lovers to help find the rare turtles mentioned above.

To facilitate the search, environmental authorities distributed photos of some stolen turtles and instructed how to identify the numbered symbols.
