@@knife5190 Hello, I would absolutely love to join in this effort to protect Leatherback Turtles. I cannot because my life is not my own. I have a mother who is quite ill and needs me 24/7. I am not sure if you meant your comment seriously , as an insult , if you had some other thoughts or were just trying to insult. I would love to hear any opinions you had. I think it important people talk. But if it was just some attempt at an insult. It was a childish one.
Well done Len! You were mentioned in today's Inaugural address by Madam President Paula-Mae Weekes. Len you were our guide several times when we came up on our pilgrimages to see the turtles each year. You were always our favourite guide and your passion and enthusiasm was infectious. You are an inspiration and a blessing for these magnificent creatures
Next time when I'm thinking "I'm just one person, what can I realistically do to make a difference", I will think back to this man who is the perfect example of how one person can make a huge difference.
You can go and volunteer. There is lots of programs around the Carribean that you can take part in and help. I am in Costa Rica at the moment doing just this. I decided to come after watching blue planet 2 🐢😊
This takes place in my country and not only do these guys help protect the turtles when they are laying their eggs but they also help the babies when they hatch since they are so vulnerable to predators as they try to reach the ocean. I’ve stayed near the beaches several times when I was younger to observe both the egg laying season and the babies hatching season and both events are marvelous to witness. They are amazing creatures and I’m so glad that guys like him are looking out for them ☺️
This feels like I am watching a short film but it's actually a true documentary based on how we have to care and protect these animals because I am pretty sure they deserve the Earth more than humans
I live on the beach where I see loggerheads laying their eggs. They struggle to reach a spot above the tides (only to encounter animals and even humans who take advantage of their extreme vulnerability). So glad for growing awareness to save these creatures (at 110 million years, among the oldest on earth).
I never thought that this guy is the narrator of blue of bbc earth.. This guy is awesome, legendary voice and a good samaritan.. Loveyou from Philippines
2 Reasons. 1 : The unnatural light that is coming from the right 2 : The horrible RUclips compression that happens especially for dark scenes making the video a pixelated color banding mess
That poor turtle 😂. She just tryin to lay her eggs man! Imagine giving birth while dozens of strangers stand feet away snapping pics and recording the whole thing lmfao
Thank you thank you so much Len Peters for helping to protect these amazing creatures and also for educating the community and youths. 🙏 Looking at the wonderful work you are doing I feel so proud to be a Trinbagonian! 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Protect the leatherback turtles!
One time when me and my cousin went to Los Cabo’s we came across a sea turtle that was like 2-3 feet big and it was like half buried and so we pushed all the sand off of it . And in like 15 minutes it had made back to sea with 3 other baby turtles 🐢 ❤️❤️🐢
Great work. Love how he go against the stream and made people ended up respecting him and his work The animal is majestic. Hope the species will thrive
In the last 2 months, there have been dozens of nest hatch on our beach here in the Philippines. Locals now protect the nest with enclosures until they hatch.
My sister sent me another video about this magnificent leatherback crawling on a beach full of people. I saw some comments about the video people thought it to be photoshopped so I came here. All I can say is wow, just wow what a beautiful and unusual looking creature!!! I agree, more needs to be done by humanity as a whole in order for this species to thrive. Btw I love Blue Planet and this narrator keeps you coming back to watch more of these majestic animals.
It’s so sad to see when my country used to be one of the place for these beautiful giant leatherback turtle to lay their eggs during before 2000. The population drops drastically. Would love to see this beautiful creature again here one day.
May you serve as a v Beacon of hope andfuture for these humble creatures...may you become an inspiration to other people..you hv a very big heart and continue with your mission...you are a symbol of light ...i thank God for using u as an instrument in taking care of his creations..Godbless u more
Great job, my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I was very fortunate to visit Port of Spain in 2011 - watching a flock of pink Flamingoes(national bird?) fly by is a majestic sight. Trinidadians are extremely nice people.
Hahhaa. My thought exactly! I literally exclaimed "What?" What part of this video could have had a negative effect on a person. Uplifting story -> Down vote! 😖😆Madness!
WhatMusic INR. I’ve never understood these dislikes on videos. I mean, I never Dislike vids but someone out there does. And sometimes I think it’s almost For no reason.
Sometimes those poachers do it to help their family. If there are better ways to support your family, the poachers not longer poach. At least the ones who are not evil, and are simply self interested whom I'd guess make up the vast majority.
1982Lazarus You are doing something bad because this action helps you more than it hurts. If people are given better options, most will take them. If you give people the option of family or turtle, they will pick turtle. I know I surely would. You and I are both lucky that we live in situations where our lives are comfortable enough that we can have insignificant discussions about turtles on the internet and not have to worry when our next meal will come or if we will be able to provide the basics for our families. It’s a feel good thing to us because either way we have little to gain or lose.
These are real environmentalists, doing something in reality. I feel in today's era of social media, many are just trying to gain publicity by talking about environmental issues and doing not much about it, themselves.
Now that’s someone who has really made a difference. Much respect for him.
Oh my, you might want to correct that tense to ‘has made’ - it sounds like you’re saying he has died! Nearly had a heart attack!! 😅

@@326Alan well, both. Him and superhero turtle man 😌 may people take their bravery and curiosity as an example to aspire to.
Wasn't Attenborough killing birds for the museum? He even had his impact on extinction for example Kauai.
Imagine somebody giving birth then somebody shows up to narrate how you're doing it.
😂😂😂😂
I would be hella annoyed.
I imagine that would be the case if aliens were making such a documentary about humans lol
Imagine giving birth as a male

Hello from Suriname🇸🇷
Instead of saying "we need more people like him" lets say "we need to start acting like him"
This is so important! I love that attitude! Let's be agents of change 💪🏻
Yeah Exactly
The change you want to see in others you must first be that change- Ghandi
We need more people like him
You cannot tell people what not to eat if you are not ready to feed them. He found that out.

David Attenborough is a treasure.
What happened?
Next time when I'm thinking "I'm just one person, what can I realistically do to make a difference", I will think back to this man who is the perfect example of how one person can make a huge difference.
Fantastic work. Amazing what one person can do if they have the will power. Is there somewhere we can donate?
Hippie Whovian we can find them in google😁
Going to donate for their great work
You can go and volunteer. There is lots of programs around the Carribean that you can take part in and help.

I went with IVHQ for 6 weeks. Check out their website they have a lot of programs around the world. Good luck
My account, would be great!!!😎
Thank you Mr.Peters.
Great hearted man.
Agreed
We need more people like you. Please dont stop protecting these turtles
Hats off sir....plz continue your great work. This planet needs more warriors like u to save the world from extinction

Whats his name ?
For whatever reason, the scene at the beginning of this video looks like terrible film CGI
2 Reasons.
1 : The unnatural light that is coming from the right
2 : The horrible RUclips compression that happens especially for dark scenes making the video a pixelated color banding mess
RUclips is bad at rendering dark scenes. Give Tom Scott's video about RUclips compression a watch
looks like animatronics
Yeh as if Mappa did it.
@@rockysage7760 people acting as if the cgi in aot ruined their entire life just deal with it
Thank you Len. You have a big heart and the turtles are grateful.
That poor turtle 😂. She just tryin to lay her eggs man! Imagine giving birth while dozens of strangers stand feet away snapping pics and recording the whole thing lmfao
@@pstu67 lol I know, plus the added bonus of scaring away any potential predators, but still, I don’t even watch my dog take a shit out of respect.
@@pstu67 no she isn't, sea turtles have literally stopped laying because of flash, it makes them get confused

True hero is one who saves a whole kind of species. Hats off my friend.
What a great human being, I'm glad we have him🙌
AMAZING! This man is a hero. He deserves all the recognition in the world🙌🏻
The turtles look like they’re crying
It's how they excrete excess salt from their bodies, through tears
Was looking for this comment.
thats called anthropomorphism, comparing animal traits to humans
Maybe because having babies really hurts
Len, you are THE BEST kind of human. Thank you!
You guys are heroes, I salute you.
Len is a hero... need more ppl like him
One brave and beautiful soul changed the minds of an entire village. I love this video. Bravo.
Great work. Love how he go against the stream and made people ended up respecting him and his work
The animal is majestic. Hope the species will thrive
The picture alone amazes me to see how huge these animals actually are.
Beautiful! What an awesome story. Every hand was up in that classroom, every child interested.

Nothing but respect! For this hero
He's an amazing man. Thank you for saving our leather backs
This good human protecting these majestic animals, great job!

To the people who disliked this video, “you are MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!”
Didn't expect to see my home country taking part in this conversation effort. Good work!
We need your intervention please, the Gov't of T&T has banned Nature Seekers from doing patrols on the beach to protect the turtles.
Because they disturb them. Rangers patrol the beaches and other conservation groups.
