Help Save Moreton Bay loggerhead turtles from extinction
Please take
immediate action to Save Queensland’s
endangered loggerhead turtles from imminent extinction. We
have a chance to save them, but time is running out. Our
loggerhead turtles need your urgent help.
Loggerhead turtles
are so endangered that they are facing local extinction in
Queensland.
Moreton Bay Marine Park, in south east Queensland, is one of the most important feeding areas for loggerhead turtles along the east coast of Australia. But climate change, a booming population and too much fishing pressure are placing huge strain on these ancient mariners.
The Queensland Government is making decisions
which effect the future of loggerhead turtles THIS WEEK.
Currently less than 1% of Moreton Bay is safe
in highly protected areas, or ‘green zones’ which help protect
loggerhead turtles and other marine life from human impacts.
Scientists say that 30% or more protection is needed in
places like Moreton Bay.
Some Queensland politicians are not yet convinced.
Please be sure add your name and to include your comments
about how important turtles and other marine life are to
you as it will give your email more weight. Please also
forward this action alert on to your friends and ask them
to do the same.
These politicians need to hear from you urgently. They have only heard protests
from the anti-conservation lobby and are not yet convinced
that turtles are important.
