Amidst the chaos in the human world, there’s some good news from the animal kingdom. Unlike the news of Dolphins making a comeback into the Venice canals, this piece of news seems genuine.
Given the significant drop in human activities (tourists, fishing boats and trawlers, etc.) along the beaches of Odisha, Olive Ridley turtles have made a strong comeback this season!!! The unusual lock-down has provided a peaceful nesting time for this species in Gahiramatha and Rushikulya beaches. If reports are to be believed, around 70,000 turtles have showed up so far, and have laid over 60 million (6 crores) eggs. Usually, the beaches along the Indian coastline buzz with frantic human activities throughout the year. The influx and cacophony of tourists ensure that the exotic marine fauna is either driven away or found caught in the fishing nets. But this time, it’s the animal kingdom that seems to be on vacation mode. If anybody says tourism is down this quarter, tell him/her that “Nope, it’s just that the profile of tourists has changed”.
