Is Leather back?

Unfortunately, this is not a fashion statement, if leather is back in fashion? But, whether Leatherback Turtles will make a comeback to sustainable populations in the ecosystem?

Amphibico is a proud supporter of the Save Our Leatherback Operation (S.O.L.O) who have put concerted efforts into growing the populations of the leatherback turtles to a level that will see them flourish and removed from the endangered species list one day.

As with all sentient forms, we are all interconnected and removing one or part of anything from this elusive circle of life brings

with it detrimental effects. In the case of the magnificent leatherback turtle, a decline in its population brings increased populations in the sources of jellyfish it feeds off, which in turn brings havoc to the beaches we take refuge in during the hot summer months.

S.O.L.O has been working tirelessly in its efforts in bringing the leatherback turtle off the endangered list, but it requires commitment and funding to keep it going. Like so many organizations needing funding to survive, we need to see that these are serious issues of environmental concern, and all efforts, whether they may fall short or not, can at least have a fighting chance in making change a reality.

Please consider supporting S.O.L.O, it doesn't take much, but the returns are massive if this will bring another species off the endangered list. If you think that the leatherback turtle or for that matter any other endangered species is insignificant, I welcome you into the waters infested with jellyfish to see what a sting of a show awaits you. Saving and protecting the marine habitat will allow us to continuously be in awe with the wondrous deep sea that it brings to us and to be able to film them in their own natural habitat ...it is priceless.
