Science in Action: Saving the Bhimanama | Ayushi Jain and a Giant Turtle 

The ancestors of the Asian giant softshell turtle, locally called Bhimanama, once roamed the Earth along with dinosaurs about 140 million years ago. But today, this giant turtle is on the brink of extinction. Thankfully, biologist Ayushi Jain is on a mission to save it.
For Episode 1 of our new series '#ScienceInAction', Bahar Dutt takes us to Kasargod, Kerala, for a heartwarming story of a biologist and an odd-looking turtle.
