Sorry, that should read outstanding business woman of the year. So..er..I guess .. congratulations Hasina Neewaj. She started off exporting turtles to Hong Kong. This is a trade which has seen a growing number of asian turtles threatened and about to become extinct. Bangladesh exported turtles worth over US$ 8.5 million during fiscal years 1996-1997. During 1997-1998, exports had declined to a value of US$ 1.7 million (Bangladesh Export Promotion Bureau 1998). One can guess why….I don’t know what the latest stats are…probably dire.
