题目内容
Eleven leatherback turtles(凌皮龟) are swimming across the Pacific Ocean to the Galapagos Islands in a "race" that will be tracked online to draw attention to the serious situation of the endangered creatures.
The turtles have been attached with satellite communication devices that give their positions, as they head South from their nesting sites on Costa Rica' s Playa Grande beach to their feeding grounds near the Galapagos, about 1,500km away.
Online participants can choose a turtle and track its course at http://www.great turtlerace.com. The winner will be the one that travels furthest in two weeks of swimming.
There is no prize for the winner of the race, aimed at highlighting the dangers to a creature that has graced (美化) the oceans for 100 million years.
Environmentalists say 95 percent of leatherbacks in the Pacific Ocean have vanished in the last 20 years due to human activity like fishing, poaching(偷猎) of their eggs and building near their nests.
Thousands of leatherbacks nested at Playa Grande 10 years ago, but the number has dropped to below 100 in the last 5 years.
The leatherback race will not be live because the turtles left Costa Rica at different times. Instead, environmentalist group Conservation International will provide a day-to-day showing of the first 14 days of their journeys simultaneously as if they were racing.
The event will raise funds to protect Playa Grande. It is being organized by groups such as Conservation International and Costa Rica' s Environment Ministry.
