Olive and the Dreadful Plogre is a beautifully illustrated book based on a true incident when an Olive Ridley turtle got entangled in a plastic bag (Plogre) and was rescued by WWF trained Pakistani fishermen in the Indian Ocean. The name of the evil ‘Plogre’ combines the words ‘plastic’ and ‘ogre’, teaching children about the dangers of plastic pollution and its harm on our marine life.
