The Chances of the World Changing

Today I watched the documentary "The Chances of the World Changing". It's a wonderful movie about a man (Richard Ogust) who becomes obsessed and passionate about saving endangered species of turtles. The movie itself was quite wonderful, very well made, - the story told even better, though a little sad.

For many of the endangered species the habitats that support them no longer exist, at this point they can not be released back into the wild. Groups of individual turtle keepers are trying to keep the gene pool viable with an array of "assurance colonies". What is most inspiring is that there are GREAT people out there willing to sacrifice time and treasure to keep something incredible alive and around, all with the hope that the world will change and someday they can be released back where they were meant to be.
