Answer

  1. He decided to join because his holiday was coming to an end and he wanted to do something different. (During my week there, I'd seen other tourists releasing the turtles in the early evening, and as my stay came to an end, I decided to join in.)
  2. They are in danger from poachers and from tourists using the beach where they lay their eggs. (These turtles are under threat from poachers who want their meat and eggs.)
  3. The project protects the eggs from poachers and allows them to hatch safely. Then they release the baby turtles into the wild. (Oscar and his volunteers collect the eggs and take them to protected areas where they are allowed to hatch in safety. Then within 24 hours, they are taken back to the beach where tourists like me join in the conservation effort... We gently placed them on the sand, stepped back and watched as they crawled slowly into the sea.)
