Conservation and Enhancement of Sea Turtles in the Southeast Asian Region

Southeast Asian countries have accorded great concern to the conservation and enhancement of sea turtles , both from the environmental and marine biodiversity point of view. These countries produce six of the seven living sea turtle species found worldwide and renowned as some of the most productive in the world. All countries recognize the significance of the sea turtle population and their habitats existing in the waters of this region. The sea turtles are highly migratory species, where the seas of Southeast Asian countries form a contiguous body of water without any interval where the sea turtle migrate freely across national boundaries. Thus, all Southeast Asian countries realize that multi-lateral efforts are necessary to ensure long-term survival of the sea turtle in this region . It was this understanding that had led to the signing of Memorandum of the Understanding (MoU) on ASEAN Sea Turtle Conservation and Protection by ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry (AMAF) at their Nineteenth Meeting on 12 September 1997 in Bangkok. The MoU laid down the objectives and the mechanism of cooperation for the conservation , management and enhancement of sea turtles in this region

Letter from Bailey Millard to John Muir, 1905 Aug 7.

THE COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE1789 BROADWAYNEW YORK CITYAugust 7 1905Dear Mr. Muir:I am here on the tripod in the Cosmopolitan office, and have been thinking a heap about you, particularly since I read your beautiful essay in the Outlook and Mr. Johnson\u27s biography of you.Could you not write a short article for us descriptive of some of the most perilous moments of your life while exploring mountains or glaciers when confronted by bears or rattlesnakes? I should like this for a series of articles of personal reminiscences of noted writers in this country. The article should be of about four thousand words in length, for which I could pay you one hundred and fifty dollars. Remembering your literary methods, I should like to remind you that in this case it will not be necessary to put so much of long-considered and carefully-worded writing into your text. It is not so much an essay that I want as a merely descriptive article full of human interest. I do not care if the incidents have been published previously, as a collection of them now for the first time would in itself constitute an original paper. Or, if you would not care to prepare an article on that subject, wouldn\u27t you like to tackle a paper descriptive of your visits to New York and of the impressions which you gained there, everlastingly swatting the town, as I know you are capable of doing, and tell of the folly of people huddling together in such an absurd fashion as is found here. I do not mind telling you that this article would quite suit my present mood, and would be03602https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/28372/thumbnail.jp
