Solution
Conversations between volunteers and villagers
First Villager : | Ya, you are able to see these eggs these days because the beach was sealed for the public for nearly a month, after they had caught some people smuggling silver bricks in the area. |
Third Volunteer : | But, how is that related to the eggshells? |
First Villager : | Nowadays the local people come out early in the morning and search the beach for these eggs. They then either eat the eggs or sell them in the market. |
Second Volunteer : | That is so disturbing! How do they find these eggs? |
Second Villager : | The female turtle leaves a trail behind her after laying the eggs. The egg hunters follow this trail, dig up the pits, find a hundred to one hundred and fifty eggs and then steal them. |
First Volunteer : | That is so wicked! |
First Villager : | Yes, it is, Sir. And if a female turtle is spotted while she is still laying her eggs, she is first allowed to lay her eggs and then, even she is caught and killed! |
Third Volunteer : | This is wrong and illegal! Sea turtles are given protection under Schedule 1 of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972! |
Second Volunteer : | We need to take immediate action against this! |
First Volunteer : | Yes, we need to protect these turtles! |
First Villager : | We are ready to help in any way possible. |
Third Volunteer : | Let’s do this! |
