Coconut Crabs (Birgus latro) #4

A young ranger from the Tetepare Descendants Association showing two of his catches (captured for conservation purposes and quickly released afterwards).

These guys are doing outstanding work, protecting the biodiversity of one of the last wild islands in the Pacific, with a very tight budget and under the constant threat of illegal loggers. Any help is more than welcome, and you can easily make a difference with a small amount of money and support (learn more here : www.tetepare.org/help-save-tetepare.html)

Coconut crab, the largest land-living arthropod in the world, has been extensively hunted and became very rare - or locally extinct - on populated islands of Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Conservation management strategies have been put in place in some regions, such as minimum legal size limit restrictions in Guam and Vanuatu, but there is still much to be done to save this fascinating creature.
