"Green Sea Turtles Thrive: From Endangered to Least Concern in Conservation Win"

Green sea turtles have been reclassified from endangered species to least-concern species, marking a significant triumph in marine conservation efforts globally.

• The International Union for Conservation of Nature announced that the global population of green sea turtles has rebounded, transitioning from endangered species to least-concern species.
• In the 1980s, green sea turtles faced severe population declines due to human hunting for culinary delicacies and egg collection for decoration, making them a vulnerable species.
• Decades of dedicated conservation biology initiatives have successfully improved the status of sea turtle populations across tropical and subtropical waters worldwide.
