Nature and the Environment. Why I became a volunteer.

Task 1.

I never used to care about animals or the environment, but when I read that pandas and polar bears could become extinct, I changed my mind.

That's why I decided to help. I love the sea so I joined an organisation in Spain that protects Caretta caretta, the loggerhead turtle. They were looking for volunteers, so I flew there in the summer to help.

I learned a lot about the loggerhead turtle. It is disappearing because people build near the sandy beaches where the turtle needs to leave its eggs. Also, baby turtles sometimes need the moonlight to find the sea. Plus, loggerhead turtles eat plastic rubbish because it looks like fish, and they die. They need clean beaches to survive.

I had an interesting job. Every day, I searched for turtle nests and counted the eggs in them. Then I put cages around the nests to protect them. At night, I checked the beach to make sure that no animals were trying to eat the eggs. I also cleaned the beach and helped baby turtles return to the ocean.

The best day was when some baby turtles walked slowly towards the water. I watched closely, ready to help if one went the wrong way.When the babies entered the water and swam away, I felt like crying, but I was so happy to help them.
