The documentary:
Every year, on the beaches of Guyana, imposing leatherback turtles emerge from the ocean to lay their eggs in the sand and ensure the sustainability of their species.
Guyana has long been the most important nesting site for leatherback turtles and is also home to green turtles and olive ridley turtles.
But today, all over the world, sea turtles are experiencing a worrying decline.
Thanks to the work of scientists, volunteers and fishermen, in Guyana or Martinique, this documentary allows us to understand the vital needs of different turtles, the threats that weigh on them and the solutions that would make it possible to preserve them.
The theme presented by Marc-Philippe Coumba
In Guyana, every year, leatherback, green and olive ridley turtles come out of the ocean to lay eggs on the beaches and ensure the sustainability of their species. But these sea turtles are experiencing a worrying decline worldwide and the leatherback turtle, the largest of all, is particularly threatened…
How could these pillars of the ecosystem be brought to the brink of extinction so quickly?
What are the threats facing the species? Are there actions to be taken to stop or slow down this process?
