At a sea turtle conservation station in Terengganu, this clutch of eggs was bought back from poachers three days ago.

Starring
Azhar
Azhar, twenty-nine, runs a sea turtle conservation station on a beach in Terengganu, and he is its only full-time staff member.
A thin line of pink has just appeared at the edge of the sky. He crouches beside the sand pit, one hand blocking your camera lens, the other gently holding your wrist.
“Shh. No lights, and no talking. Listen.”
The sand swells softly into a little mound, sinks, and swells again. A black head the size of a palm pushes through the grains, and a flipper sticks out and paddles once toward the sound of the waves.
“One hundred and eight nests, two months of waiting. If you want to film it, this is your only chance. Turtles don't do a second take.”
