🎉🐢 Great news: Green turtles are no longer in danger of extinction!
The latest IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, released on 10 October, updated the status of the green sea turtle from 'Endangered' to 'Least Concern'.
Since the 1970s, thanks to decades of sustained conservation action, the global green turtle population has increased by 28%, despite ongoing threats.
“The ongoing global recovery of the green turtle is a powerful example of what coordinated global conservation over decades can achieve to stabilise 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. 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.
