TATA and L&T are partnering each other to kill off the Olive Ridleys forever :(. The reason being the construction of a major port at Dhamra which is dangerously close to the mass nesting site of the Olive Ridley turtles. These mellow international guests return back to their beach-of-birth to mate and lay eggs thus bringing forth the next generation of cool Olive Ridleys.
TATA's products have always been welcomed whole-heartedly by the average Indian and is in fact awaiting with bated breath for the launch of TATA Nano which is all set to revolutionize Indian private motor transport. All that set aside, isn't there anyone out there who can point out to the TATA's about the gross injustice that is going to be committed by them in constructing the port. The turtles have roamed this planet way way before you or I were conceived.
Consider this… Olive Ridley turtles rely on an inexplicable,in-built navigation system that guides them, when it’s time for them to reproduce, back to the precise coast on which they were born.
Now consider something else… The proposed Tata port at Dhamra threatens a nesting site that is amongst the last honeymoon suites for the remaining Olive Ridleys, a highly-endangered species that swims all the way here from places as far away as Australia and the Philippines.
