在养护努力和社区行动的推动下,印度的橄榄海龟巢猛增至约100万个。 Olive ridley turtle nesting in India has surged to about a million, driven by conservation efforts and community action.

印度的橄榄海龟正在反弹,巢穴数量从20年前不到10万只增加到最近季节的约100万只,特别是在Velas和Guhagar等沿海地区。 Olive ridley sea turtles are rebounding in India, with nesting numbers rising from under 100,000 two decades ago to about a million in the most recent season, particularly in coastal areas like Velas and Guhagar. 保护工作,包括孵化方案、海滩巡逻和社区主导的倡议,如威拉斯海龟节,帮助保护巢穴和促进孵化动物的生存。 Conservation efforts, including hatchery programs, beach patrols, and community-led initiatives such as the Velas Turtle Festival, have helped protect nests and boost hatchling survival. 前偷猎者现在支持保护,生态旅游提供经济奖励。 Former poachers now support conservation, and eco-tourism provides economic incentives. 尽管取得了进展,但污染、塑料废物、生境损失和发展压力等威胁依然存在,专家们警告说,人口不断增长可能导致自满和削弱保护,强调需要持续保持警惕。 Despite progress, threats like pollution, plastic waste, habitat loss, and development pressures persist, and experts warn that growing populations could lead to complacency and weakened protections, underscoring the need for sustained vigilance.
