EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, an extraordinary sight unfolds as an albino baby turtle gracefully glides through the water alongside its vibrant green sea companions. The enchanting scene takes place in a serene pond on Khram Island, located approximately 30 kilometers east of Bangkok. The photograph captures a moment of immense significance and care for nature's delicate creatures. At the navy's conservation center, around 15,000 green and hawksbill baby turtles are nurtured each year. These tiny beings receive special attention until their shells grow strong enough to shield them from various predators. Once these resilient young turtles reach about six months old, they are deemed ready for their ultimate journey – release into the vast ocean. This annual ritual is carried out with utmost dedication by the conservationists who understand the importance of preserving these magnificent species. The image encapsulates both beauty and hope as it showcases not only the rare albino turtle but also highlights humanity's commitment to safeguarding our natural world. It serves as a reminder that every effort counts when it comes to protecting endangered animals and maintaining ecological balance. Photographed on June 17,2009, by Chaiwat Subprasom for Reuters Images, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into Thailand's remarkable animal society while inspiring us to appreciate and protect all living creatures that share our planet.
