The bold knight....
Johan Chevalier (second from left): Bad-boy extraordinaire and the arguably the greatest living sea turtle conservation worker from France. He has spread his influence in many places, including Cameroon, Greece, French Guiana, Suriname, Antigua, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and greater Bezons. He has taught many how to inject PIT tags into leatherbacks, how to hitchhike, and why one should always wear footwear on beaches. He is not a particularly good player of Belote and he gives Georges Brassens far too much credit, but all of his other attributes make up for these failings.

Response to F. Matthew
I have to say that this “the world according to me” rubric is pretty unfair. Just because you take too much time to review a draft paper, your co-author can write stupid comments on your back to speed you.
So now I have to apologize to the other “living sea turtle conservation worker from France”, to the marine turtles people in Cameroon (where I haven’t put a single feet), in Greece, Antigua and Suriname (where I learned a lot and meet some friends, but that’s it) and to the footwear factories for my attempt to cut back their production.
I take advantage of this photo to say hello to the friends on the pictures (and more widely in Yalimapo and Awala), especially to Sly (the third from left) who has worked for marine turtle conservation in French Guiana for more than 15 years.

Cher F. Johan: j’ai jamais dit que t’as travaillé avec les tortues marines en Cameroun; c’était en référence à ton amour pour les serpents (la conservation est la conservation, n’import quelle espèce, n'est-ce pas?!?). Alors, je vois que tu n’as rien dit sur Brassens…est-ce que tu deviens plus intéressé en Lauryn Hill????
