Reponse to the mistreatment of environment along the canal.

Firstly, I feel like this is stupidity and a total lack of planning and preparation on the part of Veolia. The most interesting part is the fact that the community was not getting involved. This situation as a whole seems surreal or typically seen in movies. But it also reminds me of a situation in the our Animal Diversity book with the peppered moths in England. Zoology is more than important but essential in this situation. This is because with zoology you can predict the fate of the turtles but most importantly understand help save the turtles. The term that relates to this situation the most is genetic drift or geographical barriers. The destruction of these turtles could cause a new type of turtles of to emerge. In the future the population of turtles would definitely decrease or not live there ever again. The traits the turtles might inherit may have something to do with making them immune to some of the effects the construction of Veolia might cause.
