A woman on a mission to save the turtles
Gliding elegantly through the water, sea turtles travel
thousands of kilometres and are able to find their way
back – even years later – to the beach where they were
born. Christine Figgener is a long-term campaigner for
the study and protection of these fascinating, primeval
creatures. In this book, she takes us on a journey
through the life of a sea turtle, and through her own.
She gives a vivid account of nocturnal visits to
Caribbean beaches in search of nesting females and
hair-raising boat rides on the Pacific, describing the
dangers facing both turtles and those who study them.

- Expert knowledge from a dedicated marine biologist
- Christine Figgener was featured as »TIME's Next Generation Leader«
- With illustrations and pictures
