Did you know that at least 1,000 sea turtles die every year from entanglement in plastic waste?
The presence of plastic in our oceans is an ecological time bomb, and sea turtles are its silent victims. The Kélonia care center on Reunion Island, which has been observing the devastating impact of plastic waste for 15 years, reveals alarming figures: more than half the turtles they treat have ngested plastic.
The situation is critical: by 2025, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans by weight. The exhibition at Kélonia is not just a warning. It illustrates, through its works, the urgent need to act now to protect our marine ecosystems and our own health. Indeed, we unknowingly ingest the equivalent of a plastic credit card every two months.
