1. What drives intrepid wildlife conservationist, Rupali Ghosh, to scour the backwaters and slush of Bangladesh in search of the lost terrapins and turtles. (TURTLES! O MY GOSH!) 2. The story of how a widow refused to kill a female Sunderbans river terrapin pet (believed in 2008 to have gone extinct in the wild) as it was a living memory of her late husband. The widow, Shubhashini Mondal, lives in South Bangladesh and she was not willing to part with her pet terrapin for any sum of money when Rupalis team met her. Her sons secretly took money and overruled their distraught mother, who finally let go of her beloved pet. This pet terrapin was very fond of eating hibiscus flowers!
