Silent Victims: The Tragic Toll of Sea Turtle Shell Trade
In Costa Rica and various countries, sea turtles face a grave threat from illegal shell trade, driven by a demand for their beautiful shells in international markets. This illicit practice not only endangers these majestic creatures but also disrupts marine ecosystems. The process of harvesting shells involves brutal methods that often result in injury or death for the turtles. These animals, vital to ocean biodiversity, endure immense suffering as they are poached and their shells traded for profit. Conservation efforts struggle against this cruelty, advocating for stricter laws and awareness to protect these vulnerable species from exploitation and potential extinction.
