TURTLES AND TOURISTS *}p+/}t

In Sri Lanka tourists pay to visit
turtle hatcheries and can release a
baby turtle back into the sea.
■ Their chances of survival double -
most would otherwise be eaten by
predators on their journey to the sea
■ Staggered releases increase survival.
And the tourist trade "gives locals a
vested interest in conservation", says
the Tortoise Trust's Andy Highfield.
