A mix of incredible Mother Nature spoilt by the minority not respecting ethical boundaries.
Turtle Conservation Project Turtle Watch的点评
点评:On the positive side it was a privilege to witness a female green turtle lay her eggs and return to the ocean. We were also witness to little hatchlings clambering over the sand to enter the sea for the very first time. The head guide was very knowledgable and the tour was being respectfully conducted.
HOWEVER, upon seeing hatchlings chaos erupted, guides lost control and we had to endure kids picking up baby turtles, forcing them to climb over shoes to head for the sea and battle through all our foot prints, they will be exhausted before they even begin to swim.
PARENTS, do some research and educate yourselves and your kids. It is not a TikTok exercise, you are honoured to witness critically endangered creatures fighting for their survival. A dad even asked the guide to speed up the process because his kids were getting tired and bored!
So go, it is something incredibly special to witness but call out those guides and parents so that we may watch these incredible turtles in a much more ethical and respectful manner.
翻译:值得庆幸的是,我们有幸目睹了一只雌性绿海龟产卵后重返大海。我们还看到了小海龟们艰难地爬过沙地、第一次进入大海的情景。领队非常博学,整个游览过程也进行得井然有序、充满尊重。
然而,当看到那些小海龟时,现场顿时陷入混乱:导游们失去控制,我们不得不忍受那些孩子们去捡拾小海龟的行为。迫使它们翻越成堆的鞋子才能奔向大海,还要艰难地穿越我们留下的所有脚印,它们甚至还没开始游泳就已经精疲力竭了。
家长们,请做些研究,多了解相关知识,并教导自己的孩子。这不是抖音上的娱乐项目——你们能有幸目睹这些极度濒危的生物为生存而拼搏,实属幸运。有个爸爸甚至要求向导加快进度,就因为他的小孩们又累又无聊!
所以,出发吧。能亲眼目睹这一幕真是无比珍贵的经历,但请务必提醒那些导游和家长,这样我们才能以更加符合伦理且充满敬意的方式来观看这些了不起的海龟。
