World Wide shame in COSTA RICA

Our Turtles are very close on becoming Extinct!!!

In the late 1950s, The beaches on the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia ( Kelantan, Trengganu, Pahang ) were literally swarming with turtles of diverse species during the egg laying season. In the local wet markets almost every other stall were selling turtle eggs. The smaller turtle eggs were plentiful and cheap; about 2 to 4 cents each. Those of the larger leatherback turtle were not as popular ( quality wise ) but nevertheless just as readily available.

Look at our turtle population now........
