World Wildlife Fund Audio-Visual Presentation, The Leathery Turtles of Trenngganu, Avp 004/40

N. Mrosovsky

As part of their marine conservation education programme, WWF is preparing a number of audio-visual presentations. There will be two concerning marine turtles. One is entitled "Turtles in Danger" and is still in preparation and will be reviewed later. The other, "The Leathery Turtles of Trengganu" is completed and available now. This contains 40 color slides showing a complete sequence of nesting and egg-laying, tagging, eggs being sold in the market, eggs being reburied and hatchery procedures and young emerging from the sand and being released. Along with the slides there is a booklet with a few lines explaining what each slide shows and the rationale for reburying the eggs and the conservation programme. The text is in English. There will also be available shortly a prerecorded cassette with a commentary by Sir Peter Scott; this includes sound effects recorded on the beach at Trengganu, Malaysia.

This audio-visual presentation would make a useful aid for public lectures. The color values for the pictures taken at night are good. It would be ideal for use in schools and the accompanying booklet would make it easy for a teacher with no special knowledge of marine turtles to put across. Trengganu beach is one of the earliest studied turtle beaches and the programme is a good representative of many turtle conservation programs. Hopefully this excellent audioÿ2Dvisual presentation will find wide use and will help give the general public an idea of what conservationists are trying to do about marine turtles. Detailed information on ordering these slides is given below.
