The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle nests on the shores of Costa Rica in groups of thousands. Tamil Nadu's Forest Department (India) is launching a landmark two-year telemetry project from 2025 to 2027, tracking Olive Ridley turtles along the state's vast coastline for the very first time with advanced satellite transmitters and mass flipper tagging. In partnership with WII and AIWC, the initiative will tag 10,000 turtles and deploy 10 satellite units to unlock fine-scale movement and nesting secrets—empowering smarter fisheries regulation, protecting key habitats, and transforming turtle conservation through science, tech, and local stewardship. #wildlife #nature #WildlifeConservation image
