Green Sea Turtles No Longer Endangered Due to Population Rebound
• A new report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature indicates that the global green sea turtle population is no longer considered endangered, marking a significant conservation success.
• Bryan Wallace, who led the assessment for the conservation group, stated that consistent conservation efforts have led to an increase in green sea turtle numbers over the past few decades.
• Despite this positive trend, challenges such as fisheries bycatch, where turtles are accidentally entangled or hooked in fishing gear, still pose a threat to their populations.
• Wallace emphasized that these conservation gains are dependent on continued efforts and that success stories like the green sea turtle's rebound offer hope and inspire action for protecting nature.
