点评:THIS is by far one of the best sightseeing points we were allowed to visit in Sri Lanka, where even the breaking of the waves is a sight worth seeing (fantastic).
A kind well-wisher, Gayan, the leader of "Turtle Point Batigama", along with his kind younger brother and their entire team, have dedicated their lives selflessly to the welfare of sea turtles, even overcoming insane obstacles during their more than 20 years of voluntary service. He showed us pictures of when the rough sea washed away their beautiful shelter, which he found the next day on the other side of the shore. Unfortunately, the government doesn’t much provide the support they truly deserve.
Gayan had planned to show us the release of freshly hatched turtles into the sea, but it wasn’t their time yet. Instead, he arranged for us to witness the release of newborn turtles later that same day at Madiha Beach in Matara (an unforgettable and priceless experience, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity). He even sent us into the water to observe one turtle that afternoon.
And... everything was free of charge; no one asked for any donation! So, why not give?
Anyone who wishes to make a suitable individual donation to the "Turtle Crew" could greatly help them. "What does 1000 Rupees mean to anyone?". They would wish to purchase a baby care unit for the freshly hatched turtles, giving them a better chance of survival before being released into the sea. (Unfortunately, only 10 out of 1000 survive.)
Gayan, his Brother, their Friends and Friends in Matara made us the entire year, not just a single, beautiful day!

翻译:这是迄今为止我们在斯里兰卡被允许参观的最佳观光点之一,即使是海浪拍打也值得一看(太棒了)。
“巴蒂加马海龟角”的负责人 Gayan 是一位善良的祝福者,他和他善良的弟弟以及他们的整个团队无私地将自己的一生奉献给了海龟的福祉,甚至在他们 20 多年的志愿服务中克服了疯狂的障碍。他向我们展示了波涛汹涌的大海冲走他们美丽的庇护所的照片,第二天他在海岸的另一边找到了它。不幸的是,政府并没有提供他们真正应得的支持。
Gayan 原本计划向我们展示刚孵出的海龟被放归大海的场景,但那时还不到它们放归大海的时候。相反,他安排我们在当天晚些时候在马塔拉的 Madiha 海滩见证新生海龟的放归(一次难忘而珍贵的经历,也许是千载难逢的机会)。那天下午,他甚至让我们下水观察一只海龟。
而且……一切都是免费的;没有人要求任何捐款!那么,为什么不捐呢?
任何希望向“海龟队”进行适当个人捐赠的人都可以极大地帮助他们。“1000 卢比对任何人来说意味着什么?”。他们希望为刚孵出来的海龟购买一个婴儿护理装置,让它们在被放归大海之前有更好的生存机会。(不幸的是,1000 只海龟中只有 10 只能存活下来。)
Gayan、他的兄弟、他们的朋友和 Matara 的朋友们让我们度过了一整年,而不仅仅是一个美好的一天!
