There鈥檚 a GPS tracker inside this fake turtle egg

Every year, poachers in Nicaragua steal millions of turtle eggs, and sell them on the black market. A conservationist named Kim Williams-Guillen has come up with a plan to put an end to this. She made a prototype fake turtle egg with a GPS tracker inside. If a poacher steals it, she plans to track the egg, and bust the crime ring. Sarah Birnbaum got recruited to help.
