Synopsis,
This review is from: Kaptan June and the Dalyan Turtles (Paperback)
This is a true story of one person's fight to save a very special part of the world. A spit of golden sand, part of one of the most fabulous coastlines in the world, the Dalyan Delta, where people have lived for millennia, reaping a rich harvest from that betwixt and between world of land and sea. From the Foreword by David Bellamy. 'dazzling, magnificent it stretched away in a flawless white arc, losing itself into the far distance under a summer haze. Serene, solitary and mysterious'. Here is the story of a passionate struggle - involving local, national and international authorities - not only to save the loggerhead turtle from the imminent invasion of the entrepreneur's bulldozer but also to conserve the paradise in which they lived from the ravages of tourism's concrete blocks. June Haimoff fell in love that July morning and she was not going to relinquish it easily. A solitary female in an Eastern culture, she tells her story with courage, humour, compassion and, above all, hope for a future in which all species may live together in harmony. Previously published in 1997 as Kaptan June and the Turtles, the Second Edition features a new Prologue, two additional Chapters, bringing the story up to date, and an Index.

Wonderful...especially for those who love Dalyan,
This review is from: Kaptan June and the Dalyan Turtles (Paperback)
If you, like I, have a facination and longstanding love for Dalyan, the tiny fishing hamlet on the south-west coast of Turkey, you will love this book. Written by a foreigner living in Dalyan it delivers an insight into the Dalyan of the past, and helps to shape the Dalyan of the future. Captain June is a well known figure in the town who, through sheer determination and her love of the area fought to stop the building of a hotel on the beach where Loggerhead Turtles lay their eggs each year. I read this in a day!!! For conservationalists and "Dalyan-ers" alike!
