Sometimes, it’s just nice to think about something else.
I suppose it tells us a lot about the current state of the world that I’m suggesting an endangered species—about which we sometimes feel such despair—is one place to find relief. But I am.
While we are all inside, maybe thinking about the leatherbacks swimming on their long migrations—narrowing in on the nesting beaches at this time of year—will help. A little bit of life going on as usual.
Here’s where our turtles are today:
Satellite tracks of leatherback turtles tagged off Nova Scotia in the summer of 2019 by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian Sea Turtle Network.
I also like to look at the leatherback tracks in the context of the rest of the world. I’m amazed by how much of it they cover.
