Turtle Sanctuary

23 July 2010

Last friday,

my class and another biology class went to the turtle sanctuary in Cherating

the biology teacher said we'll be taught about the conservation of turtle there

when we reached there, i only realize that actually we have to do community service

which is to help clean the area around the sanctuary=="

after that we've been shown a short videoclips about the turtles

besides, all of us get to hold a baby turtle each to release them into the sea

But then I was kinda sad and felt pity for the turtles

when i heard from my teacher that

actually the percentage of survival for a baby turtle that we released into the sea is only <1%

this means that life as a turtle is very miserable,

the chances for them to survive in the ocean is very low!

so thats why we are learning the conservation of turtles in our biology syllabus

Before went back, we were given a task to complete a power point presentation on turtles and have to be hand in within a week time...TT

Bye baby turtle!!enjoy ur journey in the ocean!!

hope u're one of the lucky <1%
