Turtle Tales: How Tamil Nadu Shields Hatcheries Against Climate Change

In what’s being seen as a pioneering initiative, turtle conservation is turning climate change resilient in Tamil Nadu.
The state Environment, Climate Change and Forest Department is guarding its forty five Olive Ridley hatcheries along the coast from rising temperature and changing rainfall patterns. Authorities have deployed data loggers to monitor and maintain optimum temperature. A simple but reliable infrastructure in the form of adjustable welded iron poles with cover on need basis also protects them from heavy rainfall.

This year Tamil Nadu has collected a record 2.8 lakh turtle eggs. Already eleven thousand baby turtles have been released and have found their way into the sea.
Authorities also take advise from the Wildlife Institute of India .The state’s Environment Secretary Supriya Sahu says “It’s important we negate the impact of climate change”.
The climate resilient measures would mean more hatching and more survival to keep oceans and marine ecosystems healthy.
