Caretta-Caretta Sea Turtles in Zakynthos: Earlier Nesting Season Sparks Concern
Environmentalists are raising concerns after discovering sea turtle nests in Greece much earlier than usual. Scientists attribute this to rising sea temperatures caused by climate change.
The Caretta-Caretta sea turtle, a threatened species, nests on the western Greek coast. The discovery of a nest on Zakynthos in May is a significant deviation from historical patterns.
This highlights the urgency of climate action. Travelers can contribute by choosing eco-friendly travel options and supporting conservation efforts. Remember, respect the nesting sites and follow guidelines to ensure a minimal impact on these vulnerable animals.
