Save Turtles: Egg=Life Campaign

Posted on Apr 27 in Influenceby ApplePrint

Do you know that Leatherback turtles are endangered now? But you can help save these turtles by pledging your support through the Egg=Life Campagin by WWF-Malaysia.

“Turtles play a critical role in keeping marine ecosystems healthy; the same ecosystems which sustain our fisheries and tourism industries that provide food and livelihoods for millions of people. Marine turtles are threatened with extinction due to various factors, including: the practice of consuming turtle eggs, marine and nesting beach pollution as well as illegal trade of turtles and their parts.

Leatherback turtles have already been declared functionally extinct in Malaysia. In the 1950s, there were 10,000 leatherback nests in Rantau Abang each year; now there are less than 10. Moreover, turtle protection laws are inadequate. Please sign up and help save turtles!”

It doesn’t cost you a cent to submit your pledge to show your support. All it cost you is just few seconds to fill in the pledge form and click the submit button. As simple as that!

Come on guys! Currently there are only 575 pledges.  These cute turtles need help. Click here to help!

  Yes I agree. We should all protect them. Otherwise we may one day turn back to regret it.
