Besonders Grüne Meeresschildkröten profitieren von #Schutzmaßnahmen wie #Fangverboten und #Nestschutz. Anders sieht es bei #Lederschildkröten aus. Sie bleiben stark gefährdet, da ihre weiten Wanderungen sie verschiedenen Bedrohungen aussetzen.

Endangered sea turtle populations show signs of recovery in more than half the world, survey finds
A new global survey finds that endangered sea turtles show signs of recovery in a majority of places where they’re found worldwide. The study looked at 48 populations of sea turtles. Scientists measured the impacts of threats such as hunting, pollution and climate change. In more than half of the areas studied, threats are declining overall. But there are some exceptions. Sea turtle populations in the Atlantic Ocean are more likely to be recovering than those in Pacific waters. And leatherback turtles are not recovering as well as other species. The survey was published Thursday.
