Sea turtles are one of the most exciting animals to see in the wild, and Vanuatu’s waters are home to four of the seven species found worldwide: Hawksbill, Green, Loggerhead and Leatherback. Hawksbill, Green and Leatherback turtles also come ashore to lay their eggs on Vanuatu’s beaches during the summer months (October to March).

Les tortues marines figurent parmi les animaux les plus fascinants à observer dans la nature. Les eaux du Vanuatu abritent quatre des sept espèces présentes dans le monde : la tortue imbriquée, la tortue verte, la tortue caouanne et la tortue luth.

AIM This challenge aims to help your class learn more about invasive species in your country and how they travel across the Pacific region. CHALLENGE On an A4 or A3 sheet of paper, children can write or draw about an invasive species but their entry must portray the following:   Name of the invasive species they have selected.   Information about the invasive species.   What country the invasive species came from originally and where it was before it came to your country.   How did it come to your country? For example, by plane or by boat?   Share information about where else in the Pacific islands you can find this invasive species. To help you learn more about the invasive species you could invite an expert to talk to your class on the key points above. This activity will show that your class has learnt about different invasive species, where they come from, where and how they have spread.
