Chapter 349: Chapter 349:200,000 little sea turtles are about to be born!
“Abbey Dean Ning, Welcome to the North Island!”
The leader of the group extended his hand and shook Ning Fei’s hand politely.
“I am the person-in-charge of the North Island. I am also the stationmaster of the Turtle Protection Station. My name is Li He.”
Ning Fei also shook hands with him politely. Then, he asked with a smile,
“Hello, May I know who this is?”
“It’s like this. Our North Island is developing tourism projects. More and more tourists come to visit the North Island. We hope to show you the best North Island, so that everyone can see the rich tourism projects here,”li he explained with a smile.
Hearing his words, Ning Fei finally understood.
The netizens looked at the content in the live broadcast room and said with a smile,
“This person in charge is really thoughtful.”
“Yeah, Abbey Dean Ning is now a walking advertisement. Many people want to go to the places he has been to.”
...
“But there are many places that Abbey Dean Ning has been to that ordinary people can’t go to.”
“That’s true.”
At this time, Ning Fei also said,
“Station chief Li, I just came up to see the turtles. If you plan to take me to see the scenery on the island, I might have to apologize.”
Ning Fei had never been swayed by others.
In fact, Li He also had this idea, which was to give Ning Fei the highest-class treatment, and then invite Ning Fei to visit the various major scenery on the island to do some publicity.
Who knew that now Ning Fei would directly reject him with one sentence.
Li He was also quite wishful thinking. For some tourism projects, hiring a Big V to do publicity would cost a lot of money.
For an anchor like Ning Fei, if it was really a commercial visit and advertising, the advertising fee would probably be more than ten million yuan.
However, Ning Fei did want to see the Turtles, so he didn’t care too much about it.
Then, a group of people followed Ning Fei and walked toward the turtle protection station.
They surrounded Ning Fei in the middle.
Li He was at the side, constantly introducing the situation of the turtle protection station to Ning Fei.
This scene was exactly the same as the leader’s inspection.
Ning Fei was also very helpless.
“Station chief Li, don’t follow me. or just let a commentator follow. I’m not used to it either.”
Ning Fei said directly.
Hearing Ning Fei’s words, Li He was slightly stunned. Then, he immediately called the most beautiful girl in the protection station over and asked her to accompany Ning Fei to visit.
Ning Fei instantly felt much more comfortable with the less official atmosphere around him.
Not long after, Ning Fei and the little girl walked to the beach.
Ning Fei and the netizens in the live broadcast room said,
“Everyone, look at the sand here. It’s all white.”
“This kind of sand is different from the sand we usually see. It contains more calcium and is more suitable for the growth of sea turtles.”
“Look at these rows of small pits. If I’m not wrong, these should be left behind by the sea turtles when they were migrating to lay eggs.”
Ning Fei looked up. There were many such marks on the white sand beach, which looked particularly beautiful.
The little girl next to him was called Lin Cui, a shoutcaster of the Turtle Protection Station.
As a shoutcaster, she was originally eloquent and generous. However, when she followed Ning Fei and knew that millions of people were watching the live broadcast at this moment, she felt very nervous and did not know what to say.
“Yes, Abbey Dean Ning. These are all left by the sea turtles.”
Following Ning Fei’s words, Lin Cui gradually found the feeling of the shoutcaster from before.
“Look over there. Those are the houses prepared for the sea turtles.”
Lin Cui pointed to a row of houses at the side and said.
Ning Fei looked over with great interest. The camera of the drone also turned to the side at the first moment.
“There are hatcheries for sea turtles, and there are also infirmary rooms for sea turtles.”
“Other than protecting sea turtles, our people here will also protect the coral reefs in the surrounding waters, as well as the greening work around the Protection Station.”
The more Lin Cui spoke, the more confident she became. When she introduced the protection station for sea turtles to everyone, she also felt very proud.
Ning Fei nodded and said,
“Yeah, this place is really good.”
“Turtles are like living fossils. They lived in the same era as dinosaurs.”
“It’s a pity that some time ago, due to human intervention, they almost went extinct.”
“Now, it’s precisely because of such a place that the turtle’s ecology has gradually recovered.”
As she spoke, Lin Cui brought Ning Fei into the turtle’s egg-laying shed.
When they entered the hut, Ning Fei saw that the surroundings of the hut were filled with all kinds of green plants. The environment was very good.
There were also many signs posted on the side. It was written that since the establishment of the Turtle Protection Station, the number of turtles hatched by the station every year.
The number of turtles hatched every year was increasing.
When Ning Fei saw such a number, he also laughed.
It was such a good feeling to see a living being saved.
“Abbey Dean Ning, you came at such a coincidence.”
“The hatchling of the sea turtles is expected to hatch this evening. It will be here in three hours.”
Lin Cui said with a smile at this moment.
Ning Fei was also delighted when he heard her.
It was better to come at the right time than to come at the right time.
He didn’t expect to be able to catch the hatchling of the sea turtles today.
He could not miss this scene.
“Is that so? How many turtles are there?”Ning Fei asked.
“It is estimated that there will be 200,000 turtles hatching in this batch,”Lin Cui explained.
Ning Fei was not surprised to hear this number.
However, the broadcast room was already exploding.
“How many are there? 200,000?”
“Really? Are there so many sea turtles born?”
“If there really are so many sea turtles, why would there be a need to protect them?”
“Wow, more than 200,000 sea turtles. Isn’t that too exaggerated?”
While everyone was discussing, Ning Fei glanced at the bullet screen and realized that everyone did not believe Lin Cui’s words.
Therefore, Ning Fei explained to everyone:
“200,000 is not a lot of sea turtles.”
“A sea turtle lays eggs two to three times a year, each time laying 90 to 160 eggs the size of a ping-pong ball.”
“If more than 1,000 sea turtles came back to lay eggs at one time, it would reach this scale.”
“The North Island is the island with the largest area for sea turtles to lay eggs. It has appeared the most before. The number of young sea turtles can reach 20 million.”
After hearing Ning Fei’s words, everyone gradually quieted down.
However, they still found it unbelievable.
“It can lay so many eggs in one go. Why is the sea turtle on the verge of extinction?”
This doubt could not help but flash through everyone’s minds.
At this moment, they saw Ning Fei Point to the beach and say,
“Everyone, look at the beach.”
The camera of the drone turned over. Only then did the netizens see that a large group of seabirds had unknowingly flown over from the beach. There were seagulls and night herons. Moreover, there were even more seabirds continuously flying over from behind.
Ning Fei’s voice sounded again:
“In the wild, the probability of a small turtle surviving is less than one in a thousand.”
“The seabirds all know the birth date of the small turtle. They will be waiting at the beach at this moment to have a feast.”
“For the small turtles, the first test of birth is to face a life-and-death crisis. Out of a thousand turtles, only one can survive.”
“And for the sea birds, this is a feast that only happens a few times a year.”
“That’s how nature is.”
Ning Fei’s commentary made the event of the birth of the sea turtles extremely meaningful.
The netizens looked at the densely packed sea birds by the sea and could not help but worry for the young sea turtle.
In front of so many sea birds, could the young sea turtle really survive?
At this moment, Lin Cui added:
“That’s right. When the Turtles were born, the people of our protection station would chase away the seabirds. However, there were too many seabirds, and the effect could only be said to be barely satisfactory
“This is a man-made interference with the laws of nature, but it is to protect the Turtles and also to protect the ecology
“Sometimes, our intervention can have a good effect.”
Lin Cui was right.
The number of sea turtles was on the verge of extinction and needed to be protected. They could not be left unchecked.
When the number of sea turtles gradually recovered and the ecological chain formed a complete closed loop, they could then let it develop naturally.
As time passed, there were more and more sea birds.
There were already three to four staff members at the Protection Station on the beach, ready to drive the sea birds away.
Under their protection, perhaps only 100 to 200 turtles were able to avoid the seabirds’attacks and successfully reached the other shore.
Although the number wasn’t much, it was enough for these 200 turtles.
Ning Fei waited at the side, looking at the beach where the turtle eggs were buried.
The netizens were also staring nervously.
The Sun gradually set, and the weather slowly became cooler.
At this time, a piece of sand was gently loosened.
