00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:30Tortoise species in Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, the Balkan Peninsula, and Turkey have been classified as endangered species.
00:40For millions of years, tortoises have been walking quietly in Albania, Europe.
00:45However, as the number of vehicles on the road increases, many tortoises die under the wheels.
00:52In order to save this endangered species, a farm owner set up a shelter for them and attracted many tourists.
01:01Black-and-yellow tusks with thick limbs.
01:05The small tortoise in front of you is called Hermann tortoise.
01:09It is a special species in the Mediterranean Sea.
01:11Hermann tortoise's habitat makes it more dangerous for them to survive in the wild.
01:17In order to protect these endangered tortoises, a farm owner decided to set up a special Hermann tortoise protection center in the capital of Albania.
01:26Together with a famous American YouTuber, we were walking on the road and we saw some tortoises.
01:32At the time, I didn't know if they were surprised or not.
01:35But they told me that this phenomenon happens even when they work in the field.
01:38And this is very dangerous for the health of these tortoises.
01:42In addition to protecting the Hermann tortoise, this farm also carries an important educational mission.
01:47Because the school often gathers at the farm, it allows children who have no knowledge of tortoises to have a further understanding of the Hermann tortoise.
01:55At the same time, they are far from electronic devices and close to nature.
01:58I think that a family in Tirana lives in a protected area where children can play in nature,
02:07make friends with nature.
02:08But at the same time, they get rid of the television, the iPad, the phone.
02:13They get rid of technology and everything that can affect not only their health, but also their development.
02:23This farm owner is pleased to say that after establishing the tortoise farm,
02:27he noticed that the attitude of the locals has also changed.
02:30When farmers see the Hermann tortoise in the field, they will carefully transfer them to the tortoise farm.
02:36This is also because it attracts a lot of foreign tourists to visit,
02:39promoting local economic development and being listed as a tourist destination.
