vanuatuhome 06:36 UTC 07 Apr 2013 | Hi to all citizens and friends of Vanuatu and those who are yet to discover this special friendly, peaceful corner of the world. A number of us are deeply concerned about the plight of our iconic hermit crab aptly named “The Coconut Crab”. Basically they are being eaten into extinction and we are trying to bring this issue to the forefront before it is too late. There is a mountain of information on this amazing creature (the largest land crab in the world) on the web, so will not tire you with data but if you are coming to Vanuatu or live here we would like to invite you our Forum where this is being discussed: http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ShowTopic-g294144-i4912-k6255616-o20-Tripadvisor_Restaurant_Reviews-Port_Vila_Efate.html” or here: https://www.facebook.com/vanuatuislands Please help by adding your support in these links and maybe we can bring some change. Many will immediately understand and others may take longer, hopefully people power and common sense will prevail. Cheers, John Edited by: vanuatuhome |
