At this point in the novel, Taylor has recently gained custody over Turtle, and the two have decided to spend a day at the Oklahoma City Main Library. In the beginning of the passage, Kingsolver establishes a connection between Turtle and wisteria vines, something she did previously when describing the garden in dog doo park (Kingsolver 118-119). Indeed, just as the vines “often thrive in poor soil,” Turtle manages to live through her early years in an abusive home, and eventually “thrives” under Taylor’s care. The use of the word “thrive” is significant here; although Dr. Pelinowsky had previously diagnosed Turtle with a “failure to thrive” (129), the young girl continued to grow and learn each and every day, never once faltering amid the

The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) distributed in all of the world’s tropical and temperate oceans, consists of 10 subpopulations based on biological and geographical traits. In 2013, 6 of 10 subpopulations have been assessed to estimate global population trend based on 3-generation change (approximately 10-50 years) of nest number as proxies of abundance. The result revealed that 5 of 6 subpopulations show a positive trend (North West Atlantic, Mediterranian, South West Atlantic, South West Indian, and North Pasific) and only one (North West Indian) show opposite trend. However, since North West Indian subpopulation is the second largest nesting population and contributes to a third global population, thus altogether, global population

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are areas within an ocean or lake, which are highly protected for the purpose of conservation. These MPAs have become increasingly popular all over the world and are mainly being set up for the protection of the migratory animals’ seasonal breeding and foraging grounds. Australia’s recent establishment of a network of Commonwealth Marine Reserves in the year 2012 has been emphasized by an Intercontinental Development Project that used a geospatial approach to demarcate a coastal corridor from 73 adult female Flat-back sea turtles’ post-nesting track. All this information is explicitly detailed in Springer’s scientific journal Marine Biology (June 2014). Researchers from Swansea University in United Kingdom and
