(231004) -- SANSHA, Oct. 4, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Huang Hongbo looks at a family photo at home in Qonghai City, south China's Hainan Province, Sept. 19, 2023. Huang Cheng, director of the community of Beidao Island, patrols the island daily to protect sea turtles and their eggs. Besides turtle protection, Huang also needs to collect marine pollutants and restore the environment on the island.

He was invited to head the turtle protection station of Beidao Island in 2015. Through joint efforts from Huang's f
