The book documents the journey of how from a seemingly hopeless situation, the project went on to release more than 30,000 baby turtles and brought a ray of hope to the conservation work in Sabah. It also attempts to record and capture the essence of that endeavor so that those who come after, answering the call of conservation work, can be encouraged to keep on trying and be assured that they are not alone in the tough journey of their work..." extract of the Preface of the Book
