TRACKS - turtle hatchlings struggle to reach the sea

Uploaded by: carlosdrews
Video Description:
Vehicle tracks on sandy beaches are tremendous obstacles to hatchling marine turtles. WWF is concerned with documenting the impact of cars and other vehicles on nesting beaches, such that appropriate measures can be taken by government agencies and local conservation groups. See endangered loggerhead (Caretta caretta) hatchlings in South Africa struggle to cross the track of a 4x4 vehicle.
