Volunteering with turtles Emma Bartle wanted to do something different during her  summer holidays. She decided to join a volunteer for free on an animal conservation project in another country. There was a wide range of things to do. Eventually, after thinking  about it a lot, she made up her mind: she would go to Turkey to help protect the turtles there. Emma and the other volunteers stayed in a small hotel right next to the sea. ‘From my room, I could see over the beach,’ says Emma. ‘I expected to see the turtles but I couldn’t. It didn’t really matter because there were lots of other things to look at. On the first evening, the volunteers met for dinner. Emma started talking to David Burnes, the permanent leader of the group, who lived nearby. ‘He provided a lot of information about the turtles.  Most of it I read in my guidebook on the way to Turkey, but it was still interesting and I couldn’t wait to start volunteering,’ Emma says. Emma spent the week at the rescue centre, looking after injured adult turtles and baby turtles. ‘After they’re born, the babies have to reach the sea during the night,’ David explained. ‘If they don’t get there, their safety is threatened by bigger animals. So, the volunteers collect any babies which are still on the beach early in the morning, look after them at the centre all day and put them in the sea when night comes again. ‘I was exhausted at the end of each day,’ says Emma. ‘I fell asleep as soon as I got to bed – and then it seemed like the alarm went off again straight away! It was brilliant, though. I really felt like I was helping and I made some good friends. I wouldn’t think of doing anything else but coming back here in my next break from college!’ (Adopted from Keynote pre intermediate, National Geographic Learning)

How the vultures became victims           In the early 1990s, something began to happen to India’s vultures. Once, tens of millions of these birds filled the skies. Then, suddenly, they began to die out, victims of an unknown killer. In less than a decade, the three most common Indian vulture species declined by more than 95 per cent. The Oriental white-backed vulture population – once the most common large 1bird of prey in the world – fell by an incredible 99.9 per cent. It was one of the fastest population decreases of any bird species in history. Scientists eventually found the cause of the decline was a pain-killing drug called diclofenac, which was used to treat sick livestock. Although safe for cows, it kills vultures. Any vulture feeding on the 2flesh of a cow treated with diclofenac soon becomes ill. Millions of vultures died as a result. To stop the decline, India’s government banned the drug’s use on animals in 2006. Today, the country’s vulture decline is slowing.    (Adopted from Keynote pre intermediate, National Geographic Learning)
