    A woman cuts up a turtle on the beach
    Turtles being slaughtered on the beach, Vizhinjam, Kerala, India - 2008
    THE PLIGHT OF INDIA'S TURTLES

    The Indian woman meticulously cuts off the bottom half of the upturned turtle with her large knife, occasionally stopping to sharpen the blade on the stone floor.

    The creature is still alive and flapping its fins wildly and helplessly.

    To many Western-holidaymakers' eyes this may seem a gruesome sight - but this is way things are done in the fishing village of Vizhinjam in Kerala, South West India.

    Men in the village traditionally go to sea in the fishing boats while the women buy their catches and are responsible for cutting up the catch and selling them on to restaurants.

    However, turtles are listed as a threatened species and should not be caught and killed like regular fish; due to this there is no real market for turtle flesh.

    Despite this, whether by accident or design, as these pictures show, turtle is still on the menu for many in Vizhinjam.

    According to turtle campaigners part of the reason for the continued capture and killing of turtles is the lack of awareness of their status.

    They say that if more effort was made to teach the fishermen about endangered status of the species then they could be relied upon to release the trapped ones back into the sea.

Another inhabitant of Bird Island is Esmeralda believed to be the world's oldest and heaviest land tortoise. Bird Island is situated 96 km north of Mahé, a flat coral island. It¹s the home of several million seabirds. The largest colony are the Fairy terns. They stay six months, from May to October, nesting and breeding. Than they disappear and nobody knows where they stay during the next six months.

    Young boy on an isolated island playing with a giant turtle. He his holding her favorite food in front of her head. She wants to reach it by walking and never reaches it. The boy is racing the island in a very slow pace. Millions of years of total isolation have led to the development of animals and plants which exist only on the Seychelles. It became undisturbed by human civilization in a warm and tropical environment.
    Originally this giant tortoise, Testudo gigantea, inhabited all the granite islands, but seafarers and early settlers rendered it almost extinct. The huge reptiles were reintroduced on Curieuse island, from Aldabra.
    Fregate is a small luxury hotel, 50 km east of Mah?; 16 bungalows, seven beaches, a small airport and helicopter service. ItÕs one of the most expensive hotels.

    Government Creates Ascension Island Marine Reserve
    GREEN TURTLE female head detail Chelonius mydas Ascension Island

    The British government and conservation groups have announced the creation of a marine wildlife reserve almost the size of the UK near the tiny Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean.

    The island, which is a British Overseas Territory with a population of around 900, is surrounded by ocean teeming with wildlife - as the BBC reports, the new reserve is home to some of the world's largest marlin, as well as one of the biggest populations of green turtles and a host of tropical bird colonies.

    The introduction of the new reserve will mean around 2 per cent of the world's oceans will be covered by conservation zones - that's a long way from the 20 to 30 per ent recommended by scientists in the 2003 Durban Action Plan, but it's a large increase compared to just a few years ago.

    The total area of the reserve is around 90,460 square miles - slightly less than that of the UK, which is around 94,000 square miles. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)
