M: Have you heard about the plan to save turtles in
Mexico?
W: No. What is the story?
M: Turtles are in danger of becoming extinct
around the world. Every year, thousands of turtles
lay eggs on the beach. After the turtles lay their
eggs in the sand, people come along and take
them.
W: I suppose the people like eating turtle eggs.
M: Exactly. Turtles are beginning to stay away from
certain places, now. There are fewer and fewer
of them left. There is a new project in Mexico to
save these eggs. Then turtles will not become
extinct. I think it’s a very good project.
W: Is there anything we can do to help?
M: I’m going to call the Environmental Protection
hotline. They might have some information about
the project to help save turtles in Mexico.
W: They might even have a brochure. Let’s find the
website on my computer. Oh, here it is. The
address is www.enviro.com. There’s plenty of
information here.
M: Great! Let’s see what we can do to help save turtles
in Mexico.
