EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, makes her way back to the Arabian Sea after an arduous journey to lay her eggs at Ras Al Jinz beach in Oman. The golden sand glows under the light of the moon, casting a warm hue over the scene. With a determined look in her eyes, the turtle navigates the uneven terrain, her powerful flippers propelling her forward. The cliffside provides a dramatic backdrop, with the crashing waves below serving as a constant reminder of her destination. Green sea turtles are critically endangered, making every sighting a precious moment. Their population has been decimated due to hunting for their meat, eggs, and shells, as well as habitat loss and accidental bycatch in fishing nets. This image captures the beauty and grace of this magnificent creature, showcasing her importance in the natural world. The serene view from above emphasizes the turtle's size and strength, while the waves in the foreground add a sense of dynamism and energy. The rocky outcroppings and sandy beach create a textured contrast, adding visual interest to the image. The green sea turtle's side view reveals her streamlined body, perfectly adapted for life in both water and on land. This photograph by Sergio Pitamitz is a testament to the wonders of the natural world and the importance of preserving endangered species. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of the green sea turtle and to take action to protect her and her habitat.
