Leatherback Turtles in Trinidad

This should probably be posted in the Conservation forum but not too many people would see it there. It breaks my heart to read it.

I was just reading about this too, confounding to say the very least.

So in a nutshell, an unsupervised team goes in to fix a river, that threatens a hotel which people stay at to see the turtle nesting site

and they squash the eggs and hatching turtles in the process. Unbelievable. Sad thing is its probably the ignorant workers that will

be punished rather than the ones responsible for sending them in without proper guidance.

Cheers,

Jim.
