Race for Survival

Mar2019

Kids vacation break and landed up at Kelshi beach. One evening stroll we got to know that the beach was also one of the sites for Olive Ridley turtles conservation. So next morning we landed up at the site to watch the turtles frail hatchlings dragging themselves out of their nests under careful protection of Sahyadri Mitra conservation warriors. These were then taken closer to the sea and left to make the last mile into waters. 

It was an awe-inspiring sight to the see the frail creatures racing to the waters making me wonder:
1. How do they know where to go?
2. How will they survive and how many will survive?

At the same time depressing to see that these needed protection to keep their species alive when we should have been sharing the earth together.
