December 18, 2012 - INDIA - Shocking news from Paradip at the Coastal belt of Odisha (Bay of Bengal). Since last week thousands of turtles were found dead on the shoreline.
Nature Drive NDTI is planning to bury the dead tortoises on Wednesday in the sand at the beaches. We will send two of these tortoises to the laboratory for further investigation to find the cause of their death. On first sight it seems to be caused by unhealthy water condition like increased acid levels rather than fishing activities. Whatever the reason for this massive death might be, it is very sad news for animal lovers. - NSEP.
