Leatherback turtles are globally considered vulnerable to extinction, with many populations being critically endangered. All seven regions where leatherbacks are found face high environmental risks. These turtles are known for their long marine migrations, with some swimming as far as 3,700 miles each way, exposing them to unique dangers. On the other hand, green turtles are still considered endangered globally, but their populations are showing signs of recovery in various regions. By ending commercial harvests and allowing time for populations to rebound, green turtles are now thriving in coastal waters off Mexico and the U.S. Researchers note the importance of conservation efforts to protect these endangered species and ensure their survival in the wild.
