karchiites ko zayada pata ho ga but i have just heard that government has made a deal with EMAAR group of u.a.e. to develop two of our icelands as residential colonies.the deal is said to be around 3 billion u.s dollors but the problem is that these icelands happen to be the only places in the world where green turtles come and lay their eggs,not only this but the place also have mangrove plants that are so important for eco balance in the sea and many small fish lay their eggs under these mangroves.mangroves also help to thwart the tsunami,and one reason why the tsunami hit so badly is that mangroves have practically vanished from many coasts of this part of the world.
where are our environment protection agency and our n.g.os,are they sleeping as usual.
i'm trying to contact the ministry of environment and E.P.A to register my concerns and i request all of you to do the same since it is a very serious issue and we should not let the affluent ones play golf there on the expense of our green turtles.
lets save them togather

Neutral Zone,

Pakistan has long been known to support a large population of Green Turtles Chelona mydas (with a lesser number of Olive Ridleys Lepidochelys olivacea), nesting primarily at Hawkes Bay and Sandspit near Karachi, Sind Province. There have been indications that the remaining coast of Pakistan, in Baluchistan Province (the Makran coast), may also hold significant numbers of sea turtles. At least 95% of the Baluchistan coast (>700 km long) consists of inaccessable and unfrequented sandy beaches-apparently suitable turtle habitat. Three sources have provided data on turtles in Baluchistan. Butler (1877) reported nesting by large turtles, apparently C. mydas, on Astola (Haft Talar), a small island some 25 km from the mainland. Butler stated "there is no water on the island, which is barren, and only frequented by boats from Muscat, which catch fish and large numbers of turtle". Although few turtles were encountered on the nest beach on the evening of 28 May 1877, the shore was reportedly "strewn with the dry carcasses of turtles which had been killed by Arab fishermen for the sake of their oil...the stench along the beach in consequence was intolerable". Shockley (1949) recorded that C. mydas was seen frequently along the coast near Jiwani (Jiunri), adjacent to the border with Iran. As many as a dozen large turtles could often be seen close inshore at one particular "turtle cliff", and numerous turtle tracks could be seen on the beach (in September-November 1945). Later, in an unpublished letter (cited by Frazier, 1980), S. Telford reported information from reliable sources that "many thousands" of turtles were harvested from a beach at Ormara during 1975.

I Dont think so this single project gona vanish the population of green turtles

The Green Turtle is the second largest species of marine turtle family after the Leatherback turtle. It can grow up to 3.5 feet in carapace size, and could be as heavy as 180 kilogram. It is found throughout the world in all tropical and sub-tropical oceans. The prominent nesting beaches of Green Turtle include the U.S. Virgin Islands, Florida Bay, Mexican Islands, Costa Rica, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Philippine, Malaysia and Australia.

Caring for the environment is very important because we live in it and are part of it, and our descendants will still live after us. It is better to leave behind a lot of good than bad. If you are also very concerned about the fate of the turtles, then I advise you to call TortoiseTown phone number and ask them all your questions. They will be happy to hear that you want to help the turtles because they are doing the same. I learned a lot from them.
