Turtle Poaching in China
According to Sea Turtles 911, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of sea turtles, there are over 2000 sea turtles in the holding pens in China. Statistics show that 80 per-cent are green, 15 per-cent hawksbill and 5 per-cent olive ridley. The creatures are caught mainly in gill nets in the South China Sea and eggs and hatchling are poached from the Spratly Islands. Turtle poaching in Asia is growing as the demand for meat and shell products increases.
