About the Cover
Cover photograph of Ake by Ursula Keuper-Bennett who recognizes
individual sea turtles. Her husband Peter Bennett and she maintain a web
site on sea turtles (www.turtles.org).
The WTO recently upheld US regulations that prohibit shrimp imports from
countries that do not employ turtle-protection devices (see page 11).
Turtles are poached cruelly for their shells, which are made into curios
and sold on the Japanese market. A conservation Protocol for the Wider
Caribbean Region concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife (SPAW)
can help protect turtles from international trade (see pages 8-9). It is
urgent that the US ratify this Treaty in time for the meetings this
September. Write Secretary of State Colin Powell (Department of State,
2201 C Street, NW, Washington, DC 20520) to draw his attention to this
important Treaty.
