POV: it’s nesting szn 🐢

This leatherback turtle is on its way to its nest on Matura Beach in Trinidad.

Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated partners at @NatureSeekers, this beach nesting area is clean and safe for leatherbacks and other sea turtle species to reproduce.

[Age of Union @ageofunion]

These conservation efforts are executed by our exceptional partner organizations: @bcparksfdn, @kenauknature, and @NCC_CNC in Canada, Junglekeepers in Peru, @Kalaweit in Indonesia, @NatureSeekers in Trinidad, Forest Health Alliance in DR Congo, @kanpehaiti, and @seashepherd.🌎

1,150 pounds.
This is what Penny, the largest turtle weighed at Matura beach to date recorded. 
A record so far for sure.

Penny the turtle was named after @PlanningTT's Minister @pennybeckles by @NatureSeekers for her efforts regarding turtle conservation.

[Age of Union @ageofunion]

Did you know that scientists rely on community members to help with environmental research? 🧵👇

[Min. of Planning, Economic Affairs and Development @PlanningTT]

Meet Penny, 
not @PlanningTT's Minister @pennybeckles who, for #EarthDay2023, led diplomats, agency representatives, Nature Seekers and others observing and tagging leatherback  turtles...
