The main objective of World Turtle Day, May 23, sponsored yearly since 2000 by American Tortoise Rescue, is to bring attention to, and increase knowledge of and respect for, turtles and tortoises, and encourage human action to help them survive and thrive.
The populations of turtles are falling mainly due to the international pet trade.
Actions to reverse the tide.
1. Don’t buy or eat turtle eggs;
2. Don’t buy souvenirs made from turtle parts;
3. Support your local turtle rescue programme;
4. Adopt a turtle;
5. Learn more abour turtles and voice out your concerns;
6. Report illegal trade to enforcement authorities.
America may have been crowned Kris Allen as the 8th American Idol, but the rest of the world would annointed Adam Lambert as the undisputed Prince of Rock.
Adam’s loss may be a blessing in disguise, it will be a beginning of what promises to be a celebrated career.
Wonder whether Simon Cowell will really be managing Lambert’s career.
Looking forward to chart Adam path.
