They found it like this. Dead and with a mouth full of plastic. It's not photoshop, it's not a hoax. Unfortunately it is the sad discovery of the body of a loggerhead turtle made on a Calabrian beach.
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him
They found it like this. Dead and with a mouth full of plastic. It's not photoshop, it's not a hoax. Unfortunately it is the sad discovery of the body of a loggerhead turtle made on a Calabrian beach.
Yet another victim of plastic. The photo was published on social media byMarine Protected Area "Capo Rizzuto".
The image of yet another lifeless turtle, with its mouth full of waste, this time comes from the coast of Le Castella, in Crotone.
“Platic free! It is not a slogan - writes the Amp -. Today a Caretta caretta turtle was found dead on the Saraceno beach (Le Castella) by Diving Made in Sub with a mouth full of plastic! It is not a good photo, but it is what makes us not give up! Let's free the sea from plastic ”.
And it is precisely plastic one of the main threats for this species, classified in the IUCN Red List as "endangered". Now every day there is a victim: yesterday the Aphrodite tortoise, fortunately saved, but found trapped in nylon and in a rim trapped in nylon and in a rim.
And then there was another turtle who risked dying from being strangled by our waste, probably by the wrapping of cigarette packets, off the coast of Maratea, in Basilicata.
And what about the whale found with 40 kg of plastic bags in its stomach?
It is really time to change our habits. And it's already too late ...
