EGGS=LIFE

What is all this about?

WWF-Malaysia's "Egg=Life" campaign, launched on Earth Day 22nd April 2009 and to run until 30th September 2009, targets to gain pledges from 100,000 members of the public to called for stricter enforcements to improve turtles protection legislation

"Turtles play a critical role in keeping marine ecosystems healthy; the same ecosystems which sustain our fisheries and tourism industries that provide food and livelihoods for millions of people. Marine turtles are threatened with extinction due to various factors, including: the practice of consuming turtle eggs, marine and nesting beach pollution as well as illegal trade of turtles and their parts.

Leatherback turtles have already been declared functionally extinct (thats sad ) in Malaysia. In the 1950s, there were 10,000 leatherback nests in Rantau Abang each year; now there are less than 10. Moreover, turtle protection laws are inadequate. ''

When this starts?

On April 22nd to 30th September 2009
