Good experience but some reservations ...
Induruwa Sea Turtle Conservation Project & Sea Turtle Information Center的点评
点评:Our experience here was good, the boy who showed us around was very informative and took time to answer our questions. He was particularly attentive to the two kids who were in complete awe at seeing the turtles so close. The adult turtles will spend their life time in this hatchery or a smilier place as they are injured - often loosing a limb by getting entangled on fishing nets.
For Rs 5000/- we got 6 baby turtles which the kids released into the sea. Thrilled as they waddled as fast as they could on their little into the sea - sadly one was not quick enough for a sharp eyed eagle.
Here is my grouse: This is NOT where I meant to go. I had reserved a slot with ' Dudley' at the Kosgoda Turtle Conservation My instruction to the tuk tuk driver were to take us specifically to that Project - he brought us here. Boards outside claimed it to be the Kosgoda Turtle Conservation Project but later we saw another Board on the other side which read Induruwa Turtle Conservation .. As I walked in I asked the lead guy - are your Dudley - he kind of nodded. I was not re very sure as I had spoken to Dudley and this guy did not seem to be as fluent in English. It was only an hour or so later, when I had a call from Dudley to ask me if I was not coming for the hatchling release it dawned on me that I was duped! So watch out for those tuk drives who are hand in glove with hatchery owners/ cruise operators etc
翻译:我们在这里的体验很棒,带我们参观的男孩非常博学,耐心解答了我们的问题。他尤其关注那两个孩子,他们近距离看到海龟时兴奋不已。成年海龟会在这个孵化场或类似的地方度过余生,因为它们受伤了——经常因为被渔网缠住而失去肢体。
我们花了5000卢比买了6只小海龟,孩子们把它们放生到大海里。看着它们摇摇摆摆地游向大海,孩子们兴奋极了——可惜有一只没能躲过一只眼尖的老鹰。
不过,我要抱怨的是:这根本不是我原本想去的地方。我之前在科斯戈达海龟保护区跟“达德利”预约了参观。我告诉嘟嘟车司机要带我们去那个项目——结果他把我们带到了这里。外面的牌子上写着“科斯戈达海龟保护项目”,但后来我们在另一边看到另一个牌子,上面写着“因杜鲁瓦海龟保护项目”。我进去后问领头的那个人:“你是达德利吗?”他点了点头。我不太确定,因为我之前和达德利聊过,而这个人英语似乎不太流利。大约一个小时后,我接到达德利的电话,问我是否不来参加小海龟放生仪式,这时我才意识到自己被骗了!所以大家要小心那些和孵化场老板/游轮运营商勾结的嘟嘟车司机。
