20. Unusual Sign

Tortuguero, Costa rica

This sign says that it is illegal to take baby turtles or to dig up their nests. This is to protect the sea turtles who began laying
their eggs here this week on the sand.

It's sad to think that people would do that.

to me the sign looks a bit to friendly, I hope it is successful in protecting the baby turtles
maybe they should name the fine!
