Today, on #WorldWildlifeDay, we celebrate a remarkable milestone in conservation.?This year, Odisha’s Rushikulya beach witnessed an extraordinary sight?- 6.5 lakh Olive Ridley turtles nesting, marking the highest count of these sea turtles in two years. ? Despite protection under India’s Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, the hatchlings of these ancient mariners face immense challenges - predation, trampling, or losing their way inland. With just 1 in 1,000 surviving to adulthood, their existence is precarious. ? To safeguard these vulnerable turtles and maintain ecological balance, #InfosysFoundation partnered with the World Wide Fund (WWF) in 2015. Measures such as fencing nesting areas, patrolling during the critical 50–60-day incubation period, and engaging with local communities have struck the balance between conservation and livelihoods. ? Through collaborative efforts with the government, coastal communities, and charitable organizations, a record-breaking number of turtles have nested, showcasing a harmonious coexistence between locals and these extraordinary creatures. This effort ensures the Olive Ridley turtles continue to thrive undisturbed for generations to come. ? #InfosysCSR | #OliveRidley | #Conservation | #EnvironmentalSustainability
