The tortoises are kept in an enclosure. In the cage, the tortoises are separated into groups. The groups are there so that the babies are separated from their parents. They are located near the beach, and in the cages there is sand to lay eggs in, and grass to eat. The big birds are predators of the tiny baby tortoises.

It is a very small village. It is very hot in Tulear and there must be many trees, to cool down the people and the tortoises, so they don't die of heat. There is not much rain, in the south of Madagascar. The houses of the people are very small, there are not many animals in this area and they might eat the tortoises. The tortoises will be kept in the enclosures until they acclimatize and then they will be released into the wild.
