RESCUING AN ENTANGLED CRAB ON A DESERTED BEACH<br />WITH PIX AND VID<br />By Shuk Yee Tsang<br />A small crab trapped in a discarded fishing net was saved from certain death after being spotted struggling on a remote beach.<br />The moment was filmed by Jasper Wilkins, 32, originally from Birmingham, UK, a digital nomad and conservation activist currently travelling the world, while visiting Ko Libong, Thailand.<br />Jasper shared how he noticed a couple by the water examining a small boat and went to see what they were doing.<br />At closer inspection to find out they was carefully freeing a crab ensnared in a tangled net. <br />The group worked together to cut it loose using a pair of scissors from the couple’s backpack.<br />The crab is later seen thriving, walking along the beach.<br />Jasper said: “I was thinking that these people were nice to help a small crab on their holiday. <br />"Most people only seem to care about animals that are considered cute, such as dogs, dolphins or cats,<br />" So it’s nice when people care about exploited animals such as crabs, chickens or pigs.<br />“I have been passionate about nature conservation for a while, so I decided to use tech to help preserve biodiversity and protect important ecosystems.<br />“As a vegan, I get inspired by people who are passionate about protecting animals.<br />“If you love the ocean, help raise awareness about how people can protect it.<br />"Commercial fishing is very bad for marine life. <br />“Becoming plant-based is also one of the simplest ways that individuals can help prevent the killing of marine life and ocean pollution.”<br />END
