Did you know that Brazil has a coast line of almost 7500 kilometers?<\/p>\n

And did you know that five out of the seven living marine turtles occur exactly on these coasts in Brazil?<\/p>\n

That is a fantastic statistic for the biodiverse Brazil!<\/p>\n

One of the most important contact points with respect to marine turtles in Brazil is the Projeto TAMAR. The organization as a whole is distributed along the Brazilian coast from Almofala in the North to Florian\u00f3polis in the South. The Projeto TAMAR is an important contact point in terms of marine turtles as the organization is involved in education and research about marine turtles in order to advance their protection.<\/p>\n

Organizations like the Projeto TAMAR are necessary as all five in Brazil occurring marine turtles are according to the IUCN either \u201cvulnerable\u201d or \u201cendangered\u201d. One of the marine turtles is even \u201ccritically endangered\u201d.<\/p>\n

So this means it is time that something is done against their disappearing!<\/p>\n

My tiny little contribution today is to tell you about the Projeto TAMAR and call attention to the plight of the marine turtles.<\/p>\n

Some of you might ask:<\/p>\n

Why should I care about marine turtles in Brazil?<\/p>\n

On that point I want to ask you back:<\/p>\n

Imagine a world where only humans live. Would you prefer a world like this?<\/p>\n

My answer is definitely NO.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, marine turtles are important for a functional marine ecosystem.<\/p>\n
