Colin Andrews appeal: Dear Madam President, Please can you intervene to stop this abominable trade in Turtle eggs in your country. See: http://www.colinandrews.net/CostaRica-Turtles.html The beach shown should be given special status as a protected nesting ground, where the public can watch nature at work instead of killing it. It is my intention to work with other International groups to appeal to your government on behalf of caring citizens of our planet.
