This photo captures one of tourism activities in Meru Betiri National Park which is releasing tukik or baby turtle to the sea. This is an effort to promote forest conservation including animals who lived inside and in the surroundings of this area such as the sea turtle. They really depend on the existence of the natural beach that is protected by the forest that can be seen in the background of the photo.
