A photo reminds people to protect horseshoes crabs
Laurent Ballesta, a French photographer won Wildlife Photographer of the Year prize for his photo of a horseshoe crab. He hopes the photo can draw people’s attention to horseshoe crabs.
Horseshoe crabs are ancient animals. They have been on the earth for at least 400 million years. Sadly, they’re now endangered. What happened to them? In the 1960s, scientists made a big discovery. They found that the blue blood of horseshoe crabs has medical value. As a result, hundreds of thousands of horseshoe crabs are caught and killed every year. Overfishing, as well as ocean pollution, has led to horseshoe crabs being at risk.
Laurent Ballesta’s photo not only reminds people about the serious situation that horseshoe crabs face, but also reminds people to play a part in protecting horseshoe crabs on the earth. So, let’s take action to make a difference now.
