Description:
A species of turtles endemic to freshwater lakes in south-west WA is facing its biggest challenge – the drying of lakes coupled with the threat of foxes. A Perth wildlife group has collected a graveyard of almost 100 turtle shells from a lakebed in Bibra Lake, and are calling for help to protect the species from extinction.

This caused the rocket's main engine to shut down prematurely. It started tumbling around in the sky with some of its strap-on boosters still firing. NASA sent the rocket a command to self-destruct, and it exploded above the Atlantic Ocean. They did this to minimize the dangers of having the entire rocket crash back down to Earth. This launch failure was especially disheartening for NASA, because it was the first launch since the Challenger disaster three months earlier. Investigators found that this Delta rocket had a lot of problems that were known before the launch, especially with the wiring. After the accident, launch companies across the country changed the way they wired their rockets' electronics.")
