The Turtle

I found and read this article in the text muet (Longman),this article tell us about the threats faced by the leatherback turtle and conservation efforts to save it. Giant leatherback turtles are facing extinction. Unfortunately, water pollution and the increased consumption of turtle eggs have resulted in the turtles becoming endangered. The encroachment into their nesting beaches and being caught in fishing nets have also reduced their numbers drastically. The Terengganu Turtle Information Centre has set up an exhibition for the public to appreciate these turtles. They advise turtle watchers not to make any noise, build campfires or shine torchlights into the turtle's eyes as this will scare the turtles, especially as they approach the beach to start their nesting. Camera flashes also disorientate them.
