20,000 Leatherback Sea turtles killed
Thousands of sea turtle eggs crushed


Thousands of rare turtle eggs bulldozed

KINGSTON: Thousands of leatherback turtle eggs and hatchlings have been crushed by heavy machinery on a beach in Trinidad.
Conservationists said the beach was widely regarded as the world's most dense nesting area for the biggest species of living sea turtles, which is endangered.
Government work crews with bulldozers were redirecting the Grand Riviere, a shifting river that was threatening a hotel.
