古代游泳者,现代斗争(Ancient swimmers, modern struggles)
他们有内置的头盔,一种缓慢而稳定的氛围,对你的截止日期毫无兴趣。海龟,比如这张在巴西费尔南多·迪诺罗尼亚拍摄的照片,在霸王龙出现之前就已经在地球的海洋中巡航了。今天,世界海龟日旨在表彰这些古老的航海家,以及他们在保持海洋平衡方面所发挥的作用。为什么是6月16日?这一天标志着被称为“海龟保护之父”的美国环保主义者阿奇·卡尔的生日。“他的工作为了解海龟的行为和为保护它们而战奠定了基础。

They've got built-in helmets, a slow-and-steady vibe and zero interest in your deadlines. Sea turtles, like this one photographed in Fernando de Noronha, Brazil, have been cruising Earth's oceans since before T-rex was a thing. Today, World Sea Turtle Day, is about recognising these ancient navigators and the role they play in keeping our oceans in balance. Why June 16? The date marks the birthday of American conservationist Archie Carr, known as the 'father of sea turtle conservation.' His work laid the foundation for understanding turtle behaviour and fighting for their protection.
