20,000 leatherback turtles were massacred at one of Trinidad's beaches.... A hotel which is popular with turtle watchers was in danger of flood attack from a nearby river and bulldozers were deployed to carry out peventive works. But the bulldozers dug up a huge chuck of the beach that was un-necessary for the preventive works. With it, they killed about 20,000 eggs and hatchlings......
That just goes to see how effective all those talk about eco friendly, conservation plans are..Somewhere along the line of instructions, something must have gone wrong and caused this to happen. On the hindsight, should that place be marked as a convservation area, the company in charge of the works will think twice before any action..... This is really a rotten way to start the week....
Should you have anything to say or feel the same way as I do that something can be done to prevent this, do sign on this petition.
