Loggerhead turtles, endangered-type, were found just after birth on a beach in Cyprus. Cyprus took the lead in conservation of the slow fellows in 1978. The results are bearing fruit as a number of nests for both loggerheads and green turtles can now be found.

The turtles are said to have been around for 10,000 years and return every 25-30 years after hatching to lay their own legs and keep the reproduction process going.

But, then there are people like the woman in the photo who will do their part to disrupt the process, no? Why can’t we leave the animals alone? They don’t check on us to make sure we are reproducing at an appropriate rate, do they? Come to think of it, maybe they should.
