Great News from UN Ocean Decade - Green turtles no longer in danger of extinction!

Thanks to decades of sustained conservation action, the global green turtle population has increased by 28% from the 1970s, despite ongoing threats. Sustained conservation efforts are key to assuring that this recovery lasts, said Roderic Mast, Co-Chair of IUCN’s Species Survival Commission Marine Turtle Specialist Group.

“The ongoing global recovery of the green turtle is a powerful example of what coordinated global conservation over decades can achieve to stabilize and even restore populations of long-lived marine species. Such approaches must focus not only on the turtles, but on keeping their habitats healthy, and their ecological functions intact. Sea turtles cannot survive without healthy oceans and coasts, and humans can’t either."
