A Sea Turtle Picture A Day # 226


Welcome back. With all the news lately about governments all over the world changing or down grading protected areas for wildlife . I am saddened and am wanting the photographs that I have taken to be seen.

This picture is of a Leatherback Sea Turtle that has just emerged from a nest.

Currently there are 2 countries that are down grading protected areas. These gentle giants are already threatened and now with important nesting beaches soon to be developed it is only a matter of time before all we have left are photographs to remember
It is unfortunate that in this economic climate that the lives of endangered species are being pushed aside for economic gain.

This picture was taken with a Nikon D-100 camera with a 70-200 mm lens
