    CONSERVING

    SEA TURTLES
    By : Axella Kayleen
    WHAT ARE SEA TURTLES?
    Sea turtles, sometimes called marine
    turtles, are reptiles of the order
    Testudines and of the suborder
    Cryptodira. The seven existing species of
    sea turtles are the flatback, green,
    hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead,
    Kemp's ridley, and olive ridley, six of
    which live in Indonesia.
    WHY WE SHOULD
    CONSERVE SEA TURTLES
    Sea turtles are a fundamental link in
    marine ecosystems. They help
    maintain the health of seagrass beds
    and coral reefs that benefit
    commercially valuable species such
    as shrimp, lobster, and tuna. As of
    now, nearly all species of sea turtle
    are classified as endangered, with
    three of the seven existing species
    being critically endangered.
    WHAT IS BEING DONE?
    There are several organisations that
    make an effort to conserve sea turtles.
    For example : WWF works around the
    world to establish marine protected
    areas, ensuring sea turtles have a
    safe place to nest, feed, and migrate
    freely. They also help by increasing
    public awareness, monitoring turtle
    migration patterns, supporting the
    control of illegal wildlife trade and
    promoting and facilitating the
    establishment of Marine Protected
    Areas (MPA).
    WAYS WE CAN HELP
    Become a conscious and Support sea turtle conservation by
    01 responsible seafood consumer by
    asking where and how your
    03 getting involved with
    organizations like WWF.

    02 Choose seafood caught in ways
    that do not harm or kill turtles. 04 stranding network if you see a
    sick or injured sea turtle.
    MORE WAYS WE CAN HELP

    1. Reduce marine debris that may


    entangle or be accidentally
    eaten by sea turtles. Simple acts like these will greatly
    2. Participate in coastal clean-ups help the sea turtles and their
    and reduce plastic use to keep habitat!
    our beaches and ocean clean.
    3. Carry reusable water bottles
    and shopping bags.
    RESULTS OF
    CONSERVATION EFFORTS
    With a bit of help and
    protection, the sea
    turtle population can
    eventually rise up and
    sea turtles can be
    saved from extinction!
    CONCLUSION
    In conclusion, we need to help sea turtles
    in any way possible. It is very easy to
    save sea turtles and it will benefit our
    ecosystem. With supporting
    organisations and making slight changes
    to our lifestyle, we can make a huge
    difference!
