Pakistan city beach brims with breeding sea turtles

Green Turtles have returned to

breed on this Pakistan beach

LOCATOR: KARACHI, PAKISTAN

Beaches around the world have

been quiet due to restrictions

Sea turtles are reclaiming this one,

once polluted, now serene

Conservationists do what they can

to ensure a successful season

(SOUNDBITE) (Urdu) SINDH WILDLIFE EMPLOYEE, MOHAMMAD JAVED, SAYING:

"At this time, a prayer goes out of my heart. Oh Allah, let all these eggs hatch in 40-45 days. All of them, so I can release them (baby turtles) in the water."

Green Turtles are endangered

owing to a loss of habitat

and being overhunted

(SOUNDBITE) (Urdu) SINDH WILDLIFE INCHARGE, MARINE TURTLE UNIT, ASHFAQ ALI MEMON, SAYING:

"In their eagerness to reach the vast ocean out there, these tiny little feet are moving forward, impatient to touch the vast waters ahead of them. Just look at the tiny footsteps, and their happiness at seeing the sea. Here you can see how life survives, and how life moves on."

Sindh Wildlife has released

860,000 turtle babies since 1970
