Let’s Begin…

Watch the miraculous journey of infant sea turtles as these tiny animals run the gauntlet of predators and harsh conditions. Then, in numbers, see how human behavior has made their tough lives even more challenging.

While not every species faces the same daunting odds of survival experienced by a sea turtle, all life is subject to challenges. Particularly when viewed from the perspective of an individual, the likelihood of existence is bewilderingly slight. Discuss how such a condition affects the valuation of mature individual species (yourself included).
