Olive Ridley Turtles | Velas Village | Process of Hatching - Conservation by Sahyadri Nisarg Mitra

Velas is a small village in Ratnagiri district that is famous for the Olive Ridley turtle population that visits beaches every year and lays their eggs. In Maharashtra, the sea turtle conservation movement is undertaken by an NGO named 'Sahyadri Nisarg Mitra' with help of the forest department and local villagers. The villager's committee has taken the initiative to conserve olive ridley turtles by providing protection to their eggs. Witnessing a baby turtle coming out of the egg and then finding its way to the sea by those baby steps is an unforgettable moment.
