Women's Day was a happy one for a female of another species. Tara, the green sea turtle from Taraporewala Aquarium, who was nursed back to health, was released into the sea on Friday.

In June 2018, mid-day had done a story (Taraporewala's last turtle fights for life), about the turtle, which was ill. The green sea turtle was treated by Dr Dinesh Vinherkar, a turtle specialist veterinarian, who is a consultant associated with the Injured Sea Turtle and Wildlife Treatment Centre that runs on the premises of the Dahanu Forest Division. Volunteers associated with NGO Wildlife Conservation and Animal Welfare Association (WCAWA) also played an important role in nursing the turtle back to health. After this, she was sent back to Taraporewala Aquarium.
