Lucky sea turtles saved by nature

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt - 27 August 2017:
A sea turtle was found on a beach at Arish in Sinai by a child. The strange thing is that this turtle was crawling away from the sea. Had it completed its journey uninterrupted, it would have ended up on the highway. However, something amazing happened.

The family started searching for other turtles and luckily found a bundle.

It was night and dark, and no matter how much they directed the turtles towards the sea, they would turn and head to the road again. The family decided to keep them safe at their place until morning. Meanwhile, they enjoyed their time with them, photographing and watching them.

This was such a beautiful and responsible act from the family. Hany Ashkar, one of the members of the family, explained his concerns, stating that there are no nature activists taking care of the shores of Arish, especially at such a vital time of the year when this endangered species breed.

On behalf of all of humanity, thanks to this family for acting responsibly towards nature.
