Dr. Kimberly Stewart, also known as the Turtle Lady of St. Kitts, is
already waiting at midnight when an 800-pound leatherback sea turtle
crawls out of the Caribbean surf and onto the sandy beach. The mother
turtle has a vital job to do: dig a nest in which she will lay eggs that
will hatch into part of the next generation of leatherbacks. With only
one in a thousand of the eggs for this critically endangered species
resulting in an adult sea turtle, the odds are stacked against her and
her offspring. Join the renowned author and photographer Steve Swinburne
on a journey through history to learn how sea turtles came to be
endangered, and what scientists like Kimberly are doing to save them.
