A fisherman repairs his fishing net in Gundalaba village, about 100 km (62 miles) east from the eastern Indian city of Bhubaneswar March 14, 2007. The scattered carcasses of dead turtles bake on the hot sand. Scraps of the soft white shells of turtle eggs surround a hole where stray dogs have dug up a lonely nest. Until a decade ago, this beach on India's east coast used to witness one of nature's most spectacular sights -- the mass nesting of tens of thousands of olive ridley turtles on a single night.
