MALAYSIA-ENVIRONMENT-TURTLES
A handler holds up a hawksbill turtle (L) while a green sea turtle swims in a holding tank at the Turtle and Marine Ecosystem Centre in Rantau Abang in eastern Terengganu state, 31 January 2007. The nesting of leatherback turtles on Malaysia's beaches was once one of nature's great spectacles. But since 2000, not a single baby leatherback has scampered to the sea. The demise of the iconic turtle, which many scientists say is now effectively extinct here, is blamed on a local appetite for their eggs, coastal development, destructive fishing practices -- and a heartbreaking scientific mistake.
