The year 2006 saw the beginning of a novel concept - Turtle Festival or Kasav

Mahotsava - an opportunity for tourists to witness the unique spectacle of the

hatchlings rushing out to the sea. A short film on turtles and the natural beauty of

Konkan were additional features of the festival. At the same time, we were quite

firm on one issue - the hatchlings should not come to even the slightest harm due

to this tourist activity. The tourists were accommodated in the homes of the

villagers. The response to this novel concept of ‘homestay’ was excellent. A

Turtle Friends Club was established in each village, the members being all the

villagers offering ‘homestay’. All villages would now offer the same rate for

‘homestay’. They gave ten percent of their income from ‘homestay’ for the

Turtle Protection Fund. The fund would be utilised for the purpose of protection

and conservation of turtles. Modern technology also helped. The festival reached

all corners of the world through the medium of the internet and our website.

People around the world began to contact the small villages of Konkan. More

and more villagers came forward to do this work and the number of ‘homestay’

families went up to 35. As many as eight hundred people began to visit Velas in

the Turtle Season. This meant more business for the villagers. Now they realised

that tourism can be a source of income. Tourists bring in money, and in order to

earn that money, it was important to protect the turtle hatchlings. This was

‘Conservation of Nature through Livelihood’ in its true sense. Velas became the

project’s main success story.
