100 Turtles Found Dead in Perth Wetland

Devastating Discovery Raises Concerns Over Species Extinction

PerthNow, August 2023

In a tragic turn of events, 100 dead turtles have been found in Bibra Lake, a Perth wetland. The discovery, linked to the drying up of the wetland, has raised serious concerns about the potential extinction of turtles in the region.

The exact cause of the turtles' deaths is still being investigated, but experts believe a lack of oxygen in the water may be to blame. As the wetland dries up, the water becomes shallower and warmer, making it difficult for turtles to breathe.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community and environmental groups. Turtles are an important part of the wetland ecosystem, and their loss could have a ripple effect on other species.

Authorities are now working to determine the extent of the damage and take steps to prevent further deaths. They are also urging the public to be vigilant and report any sightings of dead or distressed turtles.
