A success for marine conservation

The green sea turtle is no longer considered "critically endangered" in some regions. Conservation programs, nesting site monitoring, and international agreements have helped stabilize their populations.

Dangers do not disappear overnight

Nevertheless, green sea turtles continue to be threatened by plastic pollution, climate change, and the loss of nesting beaches. Rising temperatures also affect the sex ratio of hatchlings, as this is temperature-dependent.

Conservation remains a responsibility

Even though progress has been made, long-term protection is crucial. Sea turtles play an important role in seagrass beds and coral reefs. Their preservation strengthens entire coastal ecosystems.
