Stealing turtle eggs...?

I have been on the island for an internship for a week.

I woke up naturally today, but it was not very natural, because I was awakened by smoke, and the seaside would habitually burn withered leaves. I smelled the smoke and I couldn’t sleep anymore.

The island is so small that there are no roads or motorcycles, but everyone knows each other.

The island is very clean, because everyone will spontaneously pick up the garbage from the sea. However, if there are tourists, it will immediately get dirty again. The epidemic is very serious, but the state is still open to tourism. The decision made by the government for economic recovery is a bit ridiculous.

I met a turtle brother, super cool. He taught us how to see the ebb and flow, wind direction and weather using the apps on our phones. He has been on the island for 20 years and is a veteran of turtle protection. The locals will come to steal turtle eggs, but before stealing, they will see if Brother Turtle's boat is there. But if someone was patrolling the beach at that time, the flashlight was turned on, and the egg thief would automatically leave. The islanders call this a non-aggrasive stealer. You have to get up early in the morning to go on patrol, if you are late, the eggs will be stolen, the traces of the turtles crawling ashore are very obvious, and the insider will know where the turtles lay their eggs and start digging them. After the turtles lay their eggs, they will move the eggs to a place where people on the island can see them, so that the baby turtles can hatch well, and then put them into the sea.

think carefully. The relationship between the egg protector and the egg thief is delicate.

Here, the price of a turtle egg is RM5. About 60-100 for a litter, about RM300-500, all you do is steal eggs/make money from protected animals.

Well, write here first. Because of the internship, the time is very fragmented, and the article is also written on whatever comes to mind. I will review and rewrite it after I have calmed down.
