Turtle Puzzle




Look at these turtle puzzles. What do you see? Dumb question right? I know you see turtles. You might be thinking, what is the big deal about a turtle puzzle. Well much can be learned about the condition of the planet's environment by looking at sea turtles. They have existed for over 100 million years, and they travel throughout the world's oceans. Suddenly, however, they are struggling to survive. Why is this you might ask. That is the bigger picture. They are struggling to survive largely because of things people are doing to the planet's oceans and beaches. But what does this mean for the human species?It is possible that a world in which sea turtles can not survive may soon become a world in which humans struggle to survive. If we can learn from our mistakes and begin changing our behavior, there is still time to save sea turtles from extinction. In the process, we will be saving one of the earth's most mysterious and time-honored creatures. You know, we might just be saving ourselves too. Now you ask yourself, what can I do to help. Well there are many things you can do. Start by searching the internet. There are tons of websites and clubs you can join. Many places to send donations and there is even a sea turtle hospital in Marathon Florida you could visit in the Florida Keys. Perhaps you just want to solve a turtle jigsaw puzzle. Anything you can do to participate will help. The question is, what will you do?
