A lesson for every budding conservationists like me to be learnt from Viji mam on dedication and spirit towards the conservation wildlife. An interesting observation that wonders me is "a sound of thunder makes turtle eggs hatch". It was obvious that the nature always have something to say and our only duty is to understand and to miNimize the anthropogenic impacts caused by us to the ecosystem and organisms...... Hats off to Viji mam.
