Shilda is a sea turtle that lives in the ocean.
Sea turtles are among the oldest animals on Earth and have lived here for millions of years.
Shilda lives in the ocean but comes onto land to lay her eggs.
She often returns to the same beach where she was born.
She eats sponges, small sea animals, and ocean plants.
This helps keep the ocean ecosystem balanced.
Plastic pollution, damaged coral reefs, and climate change make life difficult for sea turtles.
“I travel across the oceans… please keep them clean.”
