PROJECT
F. *Listen to the teacher read the passage. Watch this website: https://sstcn.org/ Then write a paragraph on Studentsโ Turtle walk Chennai 2017
| The Studentsโ Sea Turtle Conservation Network beaches (SSTCN) is a voluntary group mainly comprising students who have been working in the beaches of Chennai sinceโ 1987 trying to conserve and create awareness about the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtle. They nest on our beaches at night, between January and March every year. During this season we walk on the beaches every night looking for their eggs which we collect and relocate to a safe place. When the turtle hatchlings emerge after 45 days, we release them safely into the sea. On Friday and Saturday nights we conduct a walk for interested people. We use this opportunity to interact with them and create awareness about the plight of an endangered species and the state of the environment. The walks are not for entertainment. |
