Australski znanstvenici dobro znaju kako se velike zelene kornjače (Chelonia mydas) svake godine gnijezde kod otoka Raine u Queenslandu. Kako bi ih lakše pobrojili i uvjerili se u stanje populacije, članovi udruge Great Barrier Reef Foundation su u lipnju prvi put koristili dronove opremljene kamerama. Podaci koje su dobili su ih oduševili jer su uočili čak 64.000 mladih kornjača. Očekivali su naime dvostruko manje jedinki ove službeno ugrožene vrste. Smatra se kako je ovo najveća grupa kornjača do sada snimljena u akvatoriju Australije. S obzirom na podatak da svaka ženka prosječno snese stotinu jaja, budućnost vrste je sigurna. (Ž. S.)
