Egg shells of the critically endangered leatherback turtle are seen on Jamursbamedi beach at sunrise, after a monitor lizard had fed on the eggs, Tambrau District, West Papua, Indoneisa, 20th May 2013. Greenpeace is calling on the Indonesian government not to continue the development of Trans -Papua Highway from Sorong to Manokwari. "It's destroying the forest in Jamursbamedi and will have negative impacts to the largest nesting site for the critically endangered leatherback turtle. It not only threatens leatherback turtles but also the critical habitat for birds of paradise and other protected species", according to Greenpeace. Photo: Paul Hilton / Greenpeace
