*Please note that as each piece is handcrafted, there will be slight variations in the pieces.
This piece is inspired by the green sea turtle which is known for its vibrant greenish skin and its role in maintaining the health of ocean ecosystems.
Unfortunately, these gentle creatures are facing significant threats that have pushed them towards the endangered status.
Habitat destruction due to coastal development disrupts their nesting sites, while pollution poses health risks. One of the gravest threats is accidental entanglement in fishing gear, such as nets and lines. Additionally, the demand for their eggs, meat, and shells in some regions has contributed to their decline. Climate change and rising sea levels also impact their nesting grounds.
Conservation efforts, like protected nesting areas and turtle-friendly fishing practices, are crucial to preserving these ancient and vital sea creatures.
