The turtle is a creature on a wide range of appeal. It seems calm and graceful in water, slow and cumbersome charming countryside. There is always a treat for divers when they discover turtle swimming around reefs or on the high seas. The sad truth is that the conservation of wildlife, many species of turtle is fighting for survival in the wild because their habitats are disturbed by human activity. Better known as the green sea turtle and tortoise species are threatened, there are many lesser-known species are threatened. Some, like the black soft shell turtle, are already extinct in the wild.

For example, the work being done to protect animals to combat the turtle protection program in Goa, where the conservation of wildlife activists are Turtle Protection Center reported that thirty-five turtle nests has dropped to only seven of the last decade.

Breeding sites, where the turtles are especially vulnerable, because the newborn turtles to withstand a short, but difficult to make the nest to the sea, and as sites suitable for embedding themselves are declining number. Therefore, the work focuses on the protection of animals in order to protect them from breeding. Only one out of thousands of newborn turtles grow to become adults, which means that subsequent generation are shrinking in size.

Goa is a good example, where tourism has a negative effect on turtle populations. As the region develops the capacity to increase tourism, wild turtle in the area will be reduced. In addition to increasing visitors to the area suffers from unrest in the past turtles on beaches calm enough to deal with them.

Part of the conservation of wildlife surveillance efforts in Goa means the building in which the pregnant and the young turtles are most vulnerable. If works like this, you can hear that you can participate in animal protection work on the Sabbath as part of this type of trip for adults.

Light pollution is a traditional concern of nocturnal animals, but it may be crucial in the life of turtles. Timing of hatching often with the full moon, because nearly half of newborn instinctively easy to reach by sea. As a result, streetlights and houses may mislead a newborn baby turtle, which causes the head away from the lake when they climb over the relative safety of the water. On the Sabbath adults Wildlife Conservation Project, you can participate in campaigns to teach local people about how to reduce the impact of artificial lighting turtles.

Litter created by the negligence of local tourists and the turtles often mistake diet. Plastic is particularly dangerous because it cannot be decomposed, and it looks like sea turtles favorite food: jellyfish. This means that the turtles are often starve to death their stomachs plastic coating. Wildlife Conservation plans usually includes the collection Beach areas, turtle nesting sites.
