Save the turtles!!!
So I found an article on a turtle that turned up in Vietnam that was previously thought to be extinct, and I then was curious about endangered turtle species and found several disturbing articles about turtles being traded specifically in China and Asia for food and being used in traditional medicines! Then I was even more shocked to find out from the US department of Fish and Wildlife that there are almost 50 species of turtles in the US alone who are endangered. Then I got to reading a little more, and almost all of the worlds turtle population are on a severe decline, and a vast majority of them are several endanger of becoming extinct, especially if nothing is done to help save them! Sadness! People are so concerned with how to be more "green" and yet the worlds population of turtles is in even more danger then we are from global warming! Sadness! SAVE THE TURTLES. I would donate to this foundation but I don't have any money right now. I'll post a link to the save the turtle foundation. https://secure.worldwildlife.org/ogc/ogcAC_speciesDetail.cfm?gid=1&sc=AWY0800WC900 also if you go to www.worldwildlife.org/turtles you can find some more info about the turtles. Anyway, poor turtles, they need our help!
