0:00Summer is pig nesting season for sea

0:02turtles at Gundow National Park on Hon

0:06Gang which records the largest number of

0:08nesting female sea turtles in Vietnam.

0:10Conservation work continues through the

0:12night

0:13>> and uh helping forest rangers uh in this

0:16uh in this effort are some very special

0:19volunteers. They are teachers,

0:21lecturers, journalists, and

0:22professionals from different walks of

0:24life selected from thousands of

0:26applicants to spend sleepless nights as

0:29midwives for sea totals. Here's our

0:31report.

0:36>> Close to midnight, flashlights quietly

0:38move across Katland Beach on Hon. As the

0:41tide rises, mother turtles come ashore

0:43and the volunteers begin their shift,

0:45monitoring nesting turtles, collecting

0:47eggs, and transferring them safely to

0:49protected hatcheries. For Haling, some

0:52of those overnight ships have become

0:54unforgettable memories.

0:57Since it was her first nesting season,

1:00the turtle didn't have much experience.

1:02She struggled to lay her eggs. It was

1:04probably the longest delivery I've ever

1:07assisted. Nearly two hours before the

1:09mother turtle finally returned to the

1:11sea, we collected about 62 eggs.

1:16>> With no electricity, limited fresh

1:18water, and daily routines dictated

1:20entirely by the ties. Yet, every season,

1:23thousands of applications pour in, and

1:25only a select few are chosen.

1:30>> I was rejected three times before. Each

1:33rejection was disappointing, but it also

1:35motivated me to become a better version

1:37of myself.

1:39>> Every protected nest and every hatchling

1:42safely released into the sea contributes

1:44to the recovery of the entire

1:46population. After more than 30 years of

1:48dedicated conservation, Gundow National

1:50Park is now seeing remarkable results.

1:56In 1993, only about 280 female turtles

2:00came ashore to nest each year.

2:02Today the number is close to a thousand.

2:05The number of nests has also increased

2:07from around 600 annually to more than

2:092500, nearly three times higher.

2:16Every morning, newly hatched turtles

2:18begin their journey back to the ocean.

2:20It will take another 20 to 25 years

2:23before they return to this very beach to

2:25lay their own eggs. It is a long

2:27journey, but today's volunteer midwives

2:30believe that every tiny turtle track

2:32left on the sand is a seed of love for

2:34nature, planted for generations to come.
