It may be a tradition, yet tourism is good for our economy and most tourists say they would rather see one alive 🐢 than on their plate. What are your thoughts?

Asando carne de Tortuga en Tasbapounie

En nuestras comunidades indígenas y afrodescendientes desde tiempos ancestrales existe la tradición de la caza y consumo de las tortugas marinas de manera sostenible y respetuosa con el ambiente

Se acompaña con yuca, pimienta y chile cabro comiéndose con las manos o servida. Es una delicia.

La co**ha de tortuga se comercializa en Bluefields a veces sin ninguna regulación y su precio actual puede alcázar hasta los 500 córdobas.

The hope for animals of tomorrow is to be found in a human culture which learns to feel beyond itself. We must learn empathy, we must learn to see into the eyes of an animal and feel that its life has value because it is alive. Nothing else will do. ........Kenneth White/ Photo by Scarlet Colley

The Municipal Seal, or Coat of Arms, comprises a rudder representing Great Corn Island and Little Corn Island's primary economic activity – fishing. It was created in 2005 and is one of the islands' primary symbols.

“What happens when we lift a starfish out of water for an impromptu photo session?

All over the body of starfish are papules called dermal gills. Carbon dioxide gases are exchanged for oxygen between the coelomic liquid of the starfish and the water. Essentially, it’s how they breathe, like having hundreds of tiny noses all over your body.

As fresh air is toxic to starfish and they can’t hold their breath for very long, each time they’re lifted out of the water for a photo op, they are drowning and suffering from a build up of carbon dioxide.

It’s the equivalent of someone filling your lungs with water for a little while and then emptying them again. It’s not a good day out. 😔

When this is done repeatedly, it’s a flip of the coin as to whether the poor creature can die from drowning or the stress of being semi-drowned so many times.

Wildlife are not our playthings. Just because a creature is slow enough to be caught by human hands, that doesn’t give us the right to do so, and the social media attention gained certainly does not justify the harm caused to the critter.

This is an act we’re all guilty of at some point. What was happening to that animal in the moment didn’t cross our minds.

But now we know better, so we must do better.

Look.

Don’t touch.”

The weather reports all week long were saying water travel could be an issue. Wind, waves and boats can lead to deadly consequences. Sadly, there’s been an incident. 😔
