World Turtle Day One of the little-talked about fallouts from rising global temperatures is what’s happening inside turtle nests around the world. Higher temperatures mean more females, skewing every population until breeding becomes impossible and rockeries falter. A warmer world affects every creature on the planet in ways we barely think about. Act now, rethink our choices, because once we start, hope is everywhere. #worldturtleday #actnow #turtles #saveouroceans #itsnottoolate #climateaction #oceanlover #travelforwildlife #wildlife #wildlifephotography #dive #sailinglife #teachourchildren #nature #travel #wildtravelstory #enviroment
The turtle meat trade in Bali is real, and confiscated and injured turtles need rescuing and rehabilitation. It takes time, kindness and commitment, and this is where Femke Dan Haas comes in with her exceptional team from @jakartaanimalaidnetwork and @dolphin_project The team’s dolphin and turtle rehab centre in West Bali do patient, vital work to return creatures like Coco to the wild. Her head and mouth were damaged by a propellor blade, so Coco needs twice- daily feeding to stay alive. Working to return these creatures back to the wilds takes $$ too. If you are moved to help, head to @jakartaanimalaidnetwork to donate, learn and join the fight. . . . . #turtles #seaturtle #seaturtleconservation #saveouroceans #keepnaturewild #planetearth #sailingindonesia #oceanlove #sailingfamily #wildtravelstory #wildlife #saveourplanet #loveindonesia #bali #rescued #wildlifeonearth #sailingwildone
