Raising awareness, breaking cultural barriers, conserving sea turtles
For the first time in FSL – India’s history, more than 250 participants, including children, teachers, local community members of Kundapur and FSL staff came together for an awareness raising initiative of a different kind. In March of 2013, we held a drawing competition to highlight the importance and challenges of conserving sea turtles for future generations. Children were given various themes and topics for illustration, such as, the dangers sea turtles face, their life cycle etc.
