10 Protect Turtles on Union Island

In late spring, leatherback turtles lay their eggs on several Union Island beaches. Despite the protections the government has given to this threatened species, poachers frequently hunt for turtle eggs. The activist group Environmental Attackers works hard each season to protect nests, and the baby turtles that hatch every summer need help to reach the sea. Visitors are always welcome to help, so contact Environmental Attackers for more information.
