Rescued Indian Tortoises Fly Home To India From Singapore On International Rescue Mission

In a unique repatriation mission launched by Wildlife SOS India & ACRES Singapore, over 50 Indian Star Tortoises are finally flying to their rightful home in India from where they were originally smuggled and sold into Singapore as victims of illegal wildlife trafficking. A team of senior forest officers travelled with Wildlife SOS CEO Kartick Satyanarayan to Singapore to conduct a physical inspection of the tortoises housed at the ACRES rescue centre. The tortoises were transported in specially designed boxes for the long plane journey and upon arrival in India, received by a team from Wildlife SOS including co-founder Geeta Seshamani and former Chief Wildlife Warden and Head of forest force of Karnataka Mr BK Singh. Wasim Akram, Manager Wildlife SOS Special Projects said, “We have been working closely with the State forest department to identify a suitable location for soft release of these tortoises into their natural habitat.

The fact that plastics make up less than one percent of municipal waste in Indian cities (as compared to eight percent of waste in Western Europe) is unlikely to mollify the municipal engineers who deal first-hand with the problems they cause. They quote figures showing that while the manufacture of 1000 one litre plastic bottles consumes 57 percent less fuel than that of glass bottles, the manufacture of 1000 plastic bags consumes 32 percent less fuel than that of paper bags. Of the types of plastics recycled in India, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) accounts for 45 percent, LDPE (low-density polyethene) for 25 percent, HDPE (high-density polyethlyene) for 20 percent, PP (polypropylene) for 7.6 percent and other polymers such as PS (polystyrene) for 2.4 percent. Traditional materials currently being replaced by plastics include paper bags, leaf packaging for food in Africa and India, clay containers for food and water, and natural local building materials.
