Conservationists say they believe success might decline if the current pace of tourism and related infrastructure development is not checked, as they appear to disturb ecosystems. He added that a second factor in the success is building awareness among local populations on the importance of ensuring a safe environment for the female to lay her eggs.To explain the process of increasing the turtle population, he added, “We first discovered the problems and found a way out to protect the species.”

Meanwhile, the government has initiated several actions to create a safe environment for turtles, including setting up conservation centers.

Some female turtles have come to the beach and returned to the sea without leaving eggs.
