our turtles

Save our turtlesSave our turtles

EXCLUSIVE: Following the recent pronouncement by the UNEP that the giant leatherback turtle is already extinct. The Turtle and Marine Ecosystem Centre, which disputes the UNEP finding, is not about to give up. It has recorded five nestings in the current season.

Like politics they disappear

Our turtles nestling on the East Coast

On the high tides the hunters wait

Like the opposition waiting for the take

Rumbling with the sea waves

Struggling to uphold justice

Along come the corrupted sands

Inviting yet drilling with doom

Our turtles come in droves

Now only some return

I am sad it has happened

One of the sparks of life disappear

I pray the good light fight for them

Multiply and be merry again
