The 'arribada' or arrival of thousands of olive ridley sea turtles for mass nesting on some beaches of Odisha is one of nature's amazing spectacles. Yet thousands of these gentle reptiles die every year due to callous fishing practices and human apathy. Through unique photographs, ridley facts, and a narrative born out of first-hand experience, award-winning wildlife filmmaker Shekar Dattatri makes an impassioned plea to keep the beaches safe and free for the olive ridley.
The photographs, all taken on location, said what a million words could not have. There are many facts about the Olive Ridley turtle, all woven into the narrative which will certainly hold a child's interest mainly because it is the author's own experiences that have been penned down.
