I Shadowed A 'Turtle Guardian' On Duty. Then, A Shocking Surprise.

“There is only one word to describe how we felt having to witness how difficult and challenging it was for female turtles to lay their eggs: heart breaking. 💔

“However, I have learned that I can trust committed field officers like Yana and Min Min to know what the turtles and the community need. And I trust the heart and passion of the turtle guardians who gave their all in ensuring the eggs are safe from the hands of poachers.” ❤️
