'As if the turtle doesn't face enough hardships already, proposals are now on tap to build a dam at the site, which could wipe out the species.
'The Queensland Government has already drafted an environmental impact report that identifies the turtle as being "of high conservation significance." The report further mentions that the dam "would compromise the reproduction and survival of the species," due to the destruction of sandbars used for egg-laying.'
