There are only seven species of sea turtles and they are critically endangering! Human have been using all sorts of techniques, hunting the poor defenseless reptiles for food, jewelry, ornaments, leather goods, etc.
They are so obsessed into hunting sea turtles, so much that they even came out with a fishing technique (longline fishing) that uses thousands of baited hooks from a single line causing intentional deaths to the sea turtles.
Luckily there’s a place to protect them! \(^o^)/
Tortuguero (Region of Turtles) ecotourism national park at Costa Rica, with the help of Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC), was established to specifically study and protect the endangering sea turtles.
The villagers are also actively saving the turtles from the predators. Not only are them, even the poor turtles trying very hard in preventing their species from endangerment!
The nesting process is as long as 2 hours, a very tedious and tiring process. Sea turtles belong to the marine and they have difficulty staying on the land because of their flippers that are not suited for dry land. And they have to travel all the way from the middle of the shore to the dry land despite their inapt flippers, after which they have to travel back the sea to rest when they are already panting for breath!
