Good Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: On the beach of a small Brazilian town called Praia do Forte, four oceanographers are working to save the endangered sea turtle. The scientists find a turtle's nest, then dig up the eggs and remove them for safekeeping. And when the eggs have hatched, they help the baby turtles make their way to the ocean.Not long ago the precious turtle eggs might have been uncovered and sold by the fishermen of Praia do Forte. But today these men--and their children--are taking the eggs to the scientists, not to market.Text and photographs depict the endangered situation of sea turtles, current efforts to protect them, and the effect of these conservation methods on those people who sell or eat the turtles.Also available in Portuguese
