Project Description
All of us creatures struggle to survive. We humans have the benefit of industrialization, modernity, tools etc. We are insured by great corporate insurers and protected from risk. But are we really? The world is still a dangerous place, and no insurance policy will protect us from its reality. Sea turtles have been coming to this beach long before us, and probably will continue to do so when we’re gone. Survival for the sea turtle is about living in harmony with nature and the understanding that many of their babies wont live. Their insurance policy is laying as many eggs as possible as well as a little bit of help from Roberto and all his great young volunteers. They deserve a salary above any insurance representative!
