THIS CREATURE IS PROTECTED?



Ah, its July again, time for turtles to lay eggs usually until October. Green turtles and Hawksbill turtles are protected. But in Sandakan you still can buy some, illegally I guess.

The answer for the question above, I think not because the turtles nesting has increased steadily since 1991 after 30 years of conservation.
