Give Me a Little Land ... A Loving Shore for the Sea Turtles ..

About This Environmental Documentary .

Sea turtles are one of the endangered creatures listed on the IUCN Red list.
One Of the five species of sea turtles found in the oceans four are found on the coasts of Kerala.

" Olive Ridley Sea Turtles " come for nesting....

Nature Lovers Volunteers from the general public protect the eggs from predators, day and night and the hatchlings are released into the ocean.

The efforts are very valuable as the Olive Ridleys have been losing much of their habitat due to pollution and development in the coastal regions.

Oil spills, plastic debris, fishing nets, and some fishing practices are harmful to the animals.

More than 10,00000 baby turtles have hatched from Kerala's shores and swam into the sea for the past two decades, through conservation efforts with public participation.

Awareness is made in society that turtles and eggs are not for consumption but they are wild animals that have to be protected .

This documentary aims also to convey the message that if humans fail to rise up for the conservation of nature and animals, the lives of all living creatures will be affected.

It hinders the survival of future generations.
