A historic rise in green turtle nesting has been recorded along the Karachi coast, with the Sindh Wildlife Department collecting nearly 25,000 green turtle eggs in just one month.
The eggs have been relocated to protected hatcheries for incubation as part of the department's conservation efforts, with the nesting season typically spanning from August to February.
Ashfaq Memon, In-charge Marine Turtles at Hawke's Bay, stated that the department aims to safeguard 50,000 eggs for the 2025-26 season.
This achievement indicates a renewed hope for the species' sustainability in Pakistan.
