    No prob. I actually watched this on CNN Headline News today. It was great. This woman - all by herself over 20 years - changed the culture on her island from killing these turtles for meat , 1 out of 3 - to a survival rate of nearly 100 % by patroling and showing that they could make more money from tourism that by killing them. One woman - one individual - did this. She overcame physical attacks and kept at it. It blows me away.
