A three-day-old green turtle hatchling makes for the water after being released on a beach in Kosgoda, north of Galle, July 7, 2009. Of the world's eight turtle species, Sri Lanka is home to five. Turtle hatcheries along the coast provide a way of earning a living for the people running them and also help combating the poaching of turtle eggs.
