Austalian children publish book about saving our turtles
BUNDABERG’S next generation have joined forces with an award-winning Australian children’s author to pen Too Bright Tonight, an illustrated book that highlights the importance of light conservation around turtle rookeries.
The project, financed by Hinkler Central, teamed award-winning writer Emma Mactaggart with local children as part of the Cut the Glow conservation efforts of Queensland Parks and Wildlife, with all proceeds going to the Mon Repos Turtle Centre and Save the Loggerhead.
Students created artwork and a story that celebrated Bundaberg’s conservation efforts to support the annual turtle migration.
Too Bright Tonight was officially unveiled on Saturday as part of the VIP event to celebrate 50 years of the crucial work of rangers, volunteers, wildlife officers and researchers, particularly Dr Colin Limpus, at Mon Repos.
