There’s seven different species of sea turtles in the world and because marine turtle fishing is still legal in most areas, nearly all of them are endangered.
Most of us will hear this news and feel sad, but then get on with our day- but not Arron Culling.
This Papua New Guinea local has been taking turtles from local fish markets and driving them back to the ocean.
Live endangered turtles can be found on many fish stalls, waiting to be chosen as someone’s dinner.
“Found these at the local market,” Culling wrote on Facebook on Friday, when uploading images of him and his colleagues releasing the animals back into the ocean.
“Got them for 50 bucks drove 5km up the road and let them go.”
