After hatching from eggs kept on artificial beaches as part of a conservation effort, around 3,000 baby river turtles, which were native to the Amazon rainforest, were released into a Peruvian river on Thursday.   For many years, the river turtles are considered "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as they are killed for human consumption or kept as pets.
