Suing for Turtle Protection

Wildlife Groups are Suing for More Protection of Turtles. I'm sad that there are likely poor shrimpers out there who can't afford the desired changes, but sometimes you just have to raise prices to cover necessary costs. I have to vote for the sea turtles this time. Sorry shrimpers.

Study of Sea Turtle Danger Zones

If you want to know where sea turtles are most threatened, check out this article. Apparently, the "big winner" is India. I have always wanted to go there. Perhaps that will be the vacation where I also try to help the sea turtles? It's still a dream vacation at this point, so why not say I'm going to do it all?! Of course, there are places a bit closer to home where I could help too....

THIS MOMENT - Chinatown Fountain

THIS MOMENT – A Friday ritual.

Photos – no words – capturing moments from the week.

Simple, special, extraordinary moments.

Moments you want to pause, savour and remember.

 

“This Moment” was introduced to me by Sarah-Jane of Almost There and Alejandro of Raising Amelie

 

Pig Nosed Turtle Rescue

I'm happy to report on a Hong Kong pig-nosed turtle seizure with a happy ending. These baby turtles were headed to the illegal pet trade in Hong Kong but have since been rescued and nursed to health and they are now returning home. Not all of them survived though. Turtles don't handle stress very well at a young age. Still, I'm thankful to see people diligently trying to stop the illegal turtle trade.
