SOS
SEA TURTLES was founded some twenty years ago by a small
group of photographers and journalists. All of us were very concerned
and angry about how these animals are treated all over the world.
Using our connections to the press and other media we initiated
a public information campaign about the turtles by publishing articles
world-wide. This created a increased awareness in the millions of
people who have seen the horrible pictures and read all the facts
about treatment of sea turtles. Kurt Amsler, SOS
