Tuki and the Turtle
- Description:
- Tuki and the Turtle’ is a comic book in pidgin language illustrated by the famous Papuan illustrator Gima Segore. In the book, you can join Tuki and his uncle as they learn about sea turtles in the Pacific! In one day, they find turtle nests, meet a large adult female turtle and watch hatchlings take their first steps into the ocean. Six of the seven known species of sea turtle live in the Pacific Ocean; the green, hawksbill, loggerhead, leatherback, olive ridley and the flatback. Sadly, five of these species are threatened with extinction. By following the simple examples in this comic book, we can all play a part in preserving our endangered Pacific sea turtles. This comic offers: a) An accessible educational story aimed at Pacific Island communities. b) Information about the threats faced by turtles in the Pacific. c) Steps communities can take to protect their turtle populations.
