What in the world is this? No, it’s not a Chia Pet. It’s a Mary River turtle, an endangered reptile from Australia. And the green “hair” is actually algae. Freaky and fabulous, right?

Hawksbill Sea Turtles has been listed as critically endangered species. They can be found in tropical waters of Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. They played an important role in marine ecosystems as they help to maintain the health of sea grass beds and coral reefs that could benefit smaller creatures such as shrimp and tuna.

The Hawksbill sea turtles are threatened by factors such as habitat loss and degradation, and wildlife trade. Although they are in international protected status, their eggs are still eaten globally, and they also slaughtered for their meat and stunning shells. Moreover, there are approximately 21,000 nesting female hawksbill sea turtle left in the world. It’s very sad to say that the population of the species still declining annually…

In order to prevent the extinction of the species, we should reduce the amount of garbage that we produced. Plus, we should clean up the trash after beach fires and take good care of the beaches to provide them a healthy habitat to lay their eggs. Another way that we could adopt is volunteering, we could organize events of cleaning the beach with friends, family or locals. It is important to tell the others about the issue and convince them to protect the environment and sea turtle.
