TALANG-TALANG ISLAND: As the sky darkens at dusk, dark shapes with flippers pushing hard, crawl and heave up the sandy beaches.
The turtles have landed. And the amphibians begin their search for spots to lay eggs on the beaches of Sarawak's “turtle islands” in the South China Sea.
The turtles have company, but they are in no danger at this particular time as warden Christopher Kri of the Talang-Satang National Park is strolling by.
The warden's adrenalin surges as he observes the gentle giants dragging themselves up along one of the beaches.
His passion burning for the need to conserve these endangered creatures, Kri and his two assistants are kept busy particularly in the nesting season of May-August.
This will be the time where the turtle hatchlings' survival rate plunges to a low.
