lay her eggs in and leaves to never come back.

eggs in one nest. The eggs hatch after a period
of forty-five to fifty days, using the natural

hatching, these hatchlings rush to the water to
go back to their homes in the sea. The sea is
dangerous for these young turtles and they

survival rate is very low. Only one or two
turtles survive out of thousands. Recently,

the eggs are often stolen and then eaten or sold
in the market. Thus, it has become imperative
to protect these turtles on a large scale all
