Local shell-ebrities: 19 eggs of critically endangered sea turtle bring joy to Cambodian conservationists


PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): The Wildlife Conservation Society Cambodia Programme (WCS Cambodia) said it was delighted to see 19 Royal Turtle eggs in a single clutch on an artificial sand bank at the Koh Kong Reptile Conservation Centre (KKRCC) in one night last week.

The NGO said on Thursday (Jan 13) that footprints left in the sand by a female royal turtle prompted the team to search for her eggs the next morning, when they found the clutch.
