The green sea turtle / by Clasky, Leonard,author.(CARDINAL)876421;
For millions of years, green sea turtles migrated long distances through the world's oceans. This gentle giant has played an important role in keeping oceans healthy. Unfortunately, green sea turtle populations were severely harmed by human actions in recent centuries. This book explores the history of the green sea turtle as it became endangered, as well as how conservation efforts allowed the turtle's population to rise once again. Amazing photographs of green sea turtles are paired with engaging text and graphic organizers to allow readers to understand the importance of green sea turtle conservation. This book will inspire its readers to do their part to conserve endangered species--including the green sea turtle.

On the backs of tortoises : Darwin, the Galápagos, and the fate of an evolutionary Eden / by Hennessy, Elizabeth(Elizabeth Ann),author.(CARDINAL)816623;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 223-297) and index.What we stand on -- In Darwin's footsteps -- What's in a name? -- The many worlds at world's end -- Making a natural laboratory -- Restoring evolution -- Laboratory life -- All the way down.The Galápagos archipelago is often viewed as a last foothold of pristine nature. For sixty years, conservationists have worked to restore this evolutionary Eden after centuries of exploitation at the hands of pirates, whalers, and island settlers. This book tells the story of the islands' namesakes--the giant tortoises--as coveted food sources, objects of natural history, and famous icons of conservation and tourism. By doing so, it brings into stark relief the paradoxical, and impossible, goal of conserving species by trying to restore a past state of prehistoric evolution. The tortoises, Elizabeth Hennessy demonstrates, are not prehistoric, but rather microcosms whose stories show how deeply human and nonhuman life are entangled. In a world where evolution is thoroughly shaped by global history, Hennessy puts forward a vision for conservation based on reckoning with the past, rather than trying to erase it.
