The people of #Bali have long been of 2 minds about endangered sea turtles. Some want to save them. Some want to eat them. But increasingly, the desire to save them is winning out. Alex Unwakoly, a volunteer from the @baliseaturtlesociety, was patrolling a stretch of Legian Beach across from a 5-star hotel one recent night when he spotted an olive ridley turtle that had crawled up on the sand to lay its eggs. Alex and a colleague kept a handful of tourists at a distance while the turtle — classified as a member of a vulnerable species — laid its eggs. As the turtle crawled back to the Indian Ocean, rescuers dug up 136 eggs and took them away to hatch in a safer spot. Last year, the society released some 70,000 hatchlings. The largely volunteer campaign is a rare success story on the popular tourist island, which struggles with environmental challenges. 6 of the world’s 7 species of #seaturtle inhabit Indonesia’s waters, and all of them are classified as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered. Turtle eggs left to hatch on their own can be crushed by beachgoers, swept away at high tide, dug up by wild dogs or stolen by poachers.
