Answer 2

Answer:

The eggs of the turtles are stolen by egg hunters and then either eaten or sold in the market. If a turtle is spotted while still laying eggs, it is killed and eaten after it has finished the laying the eggs. The turtles are an important part of the marine food chain. Hence they have been protected in India.
