Çıralı has three invisible heroes, the holiday town of Antalya's belt district. Mukhtar Habip Altinkaya, retired teacher Ismail Tunalı and birth-growth Cirali native Bayram Mass ... Three volunteers follow the traces of female Caretta caretta who have been visiting the night beach for 20 years and then prepare for the tougher journeys out of their shells. This trilogy devoted their life to seaplanes and combined the project of making a giant golf course in Çıralı in 2000.
ÇIRALI is one of the important spawning points of Caretta caretta tortoises facing the danger of extinction. This year's situation is different on the beach, which hosts an average of 150 homes in the Sen. Every year in Çıralı, Bayram Kütle (62), who works on the identification of the Caretta caretta nests on the beach, taking them under protection and carrying out activities to get the babies who come out of the yard and meet the sea,
YUVA NUMBER 70TH LEVEL
"Our nest count is now only 70. The unconscious use of the shore is the most serious danger for the Caretta caretta. Fire on the beach is lit and musical fun is organized. If you light the fire, the cubs will take their lives to the danger. If you make noise after the sun has set, the mothers avoid escaping the beach. As long as there are morning people and tents on the beach, there is no peace for turtles. But there is no solution by prohibiting it, it is important to raise awareness of our people at this point, and all our efforts are in this direction. "
'LIKE EVERYONE'
One of the volunteers protecting the Caretta caretta is retired class teacher Ismail Tunalı. Tunalı, 71 years old, whom all Çıralı called 'turtle teacher', can not conceal his excitement in every new egg despite the passing years. Overcoming the sands, gazing at the slow-stepping cubs, Tunali smiles, saying, "Each one is like a granddaughter." The 4 centimeter tiny turtles are getting serious when we ask them why we do not get them to the water quickly: "This rocky and sandy road is actually life-like, sometimes ups and sometimes out. We can not always be there, this rugged way, a hard start to life before they get to the water. "
KAPLUMBAMAR IS PROTECTING US
Habib Altinkaya (24) is a young and dynamic headman: "We started to protect the Caretta caretta towards the end of the nineties. Cirali owes a lot to them, and even though we seem to be protecting sea turtles here, they are actually leaning on us. Thanks to their protection, Cirali maintains this natural beauty. We owe them money. Our businessmen around here are aware of that. "
WASTE OF CARETTA WAITING
Even though it is 05.00 o'clock in the morning, there is always a mobility in Çıralı beach. Local and foreign tourists, who see volunteer triplets on their T-shirts as 'Marine Turtle Protection and Control Staff', are following them. Because they know that when they follow these trilogies there is a chance of witnessing a miracle. Everyone wants to come out of a Caretta caretta's shell and testify that they reach the water after crossing the sand and the stones and putting a long way towards the sun. It is not easy to witness the miracle of the Caretta caretta. The nests protected by the efforts of the volunteers are opening within 45 to 60 days. The three names we follow in Çıralı are sandwiched every morning before dawn, making the new eggs sheltered and the yuvala ready to say goodbye to hell is almost like a compass. The pups who are weaker than the others receive short-term rehabilitation for power surgeries. Volunteers have participated in many seminars and even academics from various universities have provided them with information on caring for the sea turtle. Saying that they understand the language of the turtles, Çırılılar volunteers to host a turtle hospital at the same time. Bayram Bulut, "Caretta caretta'ler Tekirova'dan like iron, beyond the people, did not want to imprisonment away. It could have been safer, but people should be able to witness this beauty so that they can become conscious. That means making double efforts for us, but there is no prospect; As long as our tortoises meet the right sea of ??the sea, "he explains.
