I have been involved with the conservation of threatened amphibians and reptiles in the UK and across Europe for more than 45 years. During that time in the UK we
looked to the Ministry of Defence as
our most important national ally (please excuse the pun!). While this was true while you had a series of active Conservation Officers, beginning with the excellant, sadly now late, Lt.Col.Norman Clayden, this ludicrous marine turtle situation on the Cyprus UK.Sovereign Base simply beggars belief !
I must suspect that the unpleasant stand-off with the dedicated WTW
is partly because of a diminished
conservation attitude to these turtles
in their vital breeding, feeding,
and overwintering, I also understand
that it may be being influenced by
DEFRA's bureacratic expertise and which as usual is not matched by any sound ecological understanding !

This has gone on far too long-the turtles have no defence against humans; the issues of the fishing fraternity (entanglement in fishing nets/clubbing to death), plastic items in the sea etc need to be addressed immediately.
