Sing pisanan saka akeh penyu sisik wis teka ing Cousine Island, menehi tandha wiwitan musim nyarang. Pemantauan spesies sing kaancam punah iki minangka salah sawijining fokus utama tim konservasi ing Pulo. Data penting, kayata nomer tag, dawa karapas lan ukuran kopling sarang, diklumpukake saka saben wanita sing ditemokake ing pantai kanggo ngenali owah-owahan populasi ing Seychelles.
Pantai Cousine uga dinamis banget kanthi antarmuka pantai ganti ukuran miturut musim lan arah angin. Sarang sing dilebokake ing wilayah sing dianggep 'ora aman' dipindhah dening tim menyang hatchery sing ora predator lan yen tukik wis muncul, dheweke dibebasake menyang samodra kanggo miwiti perjalanan nganti diwasa. Tim konservasi Cousine Island ujar manawa dheweke ngarepake musim iki bakal dadi crita sukses liyane, kanthi luwih akeh tukik sing dibebasake tinimbang ing taun-taun sadurunge.
APA sing kudu dijupuk saka ARTIKEL INI:
- Nests that are laid in an area deemed ‘unsafe' are relocated by the team to a predator-free hatchery and once the hatchlings have emerged they are released into the ocean to start their journey to adulthood.
- Important data, such as tag numbers, carapace length and nest clutch sizes, are collected from each female encountered on the beach in order to identify changes in the population within the Seychelles.
- The monitoring of this critically endangered species is one of the primary focuses of the conservation team on the Island.
