On September 28, 2025, 104 endangered turtle hatchlings were released into Assam’s Hadug Beel wetland to aid conservation efforts.
On September 28, 2025, 104 hatchlings of three endangered turtle species—the Black Softshell, Indian Tent, and Ganges Softshell turtles—were released into Hadug Beel, a wetland within Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam.
Sourced from a temple pond in Hajo with centuries-old conservation traditions, the hatchlings were raised and quarantined at the Assam State Zoo before release.
The event, part of broader efforts to restore declining turtle populations, highlights collaboration between temple communities, scientists, and conservation groups.
Assam, home to 21 of India’s 28 turtle species, faces significant biodiversity challenges, with several species threatened or extinct in the wild.
The release site, a flood-connected wetland with rich aquatic life, offers a suitable habitat.
The initiative also honors late artist Zubeen Garg, whose connection to the area inspired the tribute.
