t-iki-oasis: lemon-tropica: a photo i took last year in Tioman x please don’t delete this comment! when i went to Tioman, we visited this project ‘Tioman Turtles’. they are trying to help save the species of turtles that visit this island from becoming extinct. (this is a small ‘tank’ where a turtle called Jo lives in. She a blind turtle that was rescued c: the poor thing swims around and bumps into the wall :c) anyways, on Tioman there are only 3 species of turtles left that lay their eggs on the beach. because of development (building resorts, tourist attractions etc) the number of turtles that lay their eggs in Tioman are becoming less and less. one of the main threats for baby turtles are humans. we watched a video of a turtle trying to get back to the ocean after laying her eggs, there were these tourists blocking her way. the tourists were trying to take photos with the turtle. this turtle wont come back to lay her eggs there anymore because of the tourists. PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST TO HELP SPREAD AWARENESS AND SAVE THE TURTLES! more summer / tropical here ☯✌☼ i follow back similar x -- source link
