- Green turtles have made the rare jump from endangered to "least concern" in global conservation rankings, thanks to decades of efforts including egg relocation, marine protection and trade bans.
In Malaysia's Turtle Islands, for example, green turtle nesting has tripled since the 1970s to over 20,000 nests annually. The change is a remarkable success when many other species are declining.
Turtles are targeted for food and their shells, killed in fishing nets, and constrained by development and pollution at nesting beaches and feeding grounds.
