On 16 April 2021, the New Hainan news reported that Xie Zhenzi, the ‘guardian’ of the turtles, had rescued the turtles. She is now the head of the sea turtle rescue station students. In 2020, they released eight sea turtles, and when they saw the turtles swimming to the sea in good health, they were very proud of their hearts. The turtles are so cute that she is interested in protecting them, and each rescued turtle will have a unique tag to make it easier to find information about previous rescues. Sea turtles are the ‘umbrella species’ in the marine ecosystem, and Xie Jizi believes that the protection of sea turtles is far from enough with only the power of volunteers and scholars who study sea turtles. She called on everyone to join the team to protect sea turtles, ‘some of the protection work of sea turtles does not mean that you have to rescue it or know some professional knowledge. In fact, we reduce some of the pollution to the marine ecology, the sea turtle is also a kind of protection. I hope you can join us, and we protect sea turtles to protect the ocean.’
