Washington – According to a new global survey published on Thursday, the endangered sea turtles show signs of recovery in most places where they are found worldwide.
“Most of the population of the tortoise has returned, though no one has done that,” Duke’s eclectist Stuart Pim, who was not involved in research. “Overall, the story of the turtle of the sea is one of the true stories of preserving.”
The survey looked at the 48 population of the sea turtle around the world. Scientists have measured the effects of threats such as hunting, pollution, coastal development and marine animals. Studies have shown that threats are decreasing in more than half of the studies.
However, there are some exceptions. The population of sea turtle in the Atlantic Ocean is more likely to recover than the Pacific Water. And leatherback turtles are not as farming as well as other species.
Worldwide, leatherbacks are considered risky for extinction, but many groups are critically endangered, according to the preservation of the International Union for nature.
Brian Wallace, a co-authorist of the wildlife-ecosometry in Colorado Ecolibrium, says that seven regions of leatherbacks with leather are facing high environmental risk.
Leatherback turtles are famous for creating the longest known marine migration of any animal – some people swimming about 3,700 miles (5,9555 km) in each way. He said that this fame was taken through their broad areas and could express their unique risks, he said.
Meanwhile, green turtles are still considered worldwide endangered, but their population shows signs of recovery in many regions of the world, researchers have discovered.
From many regions of Mexico and the United States to coastal water “commercial crops and allow them to re-time their population is doing really well”, co-authors Michel Maria Arley Capistren, a researcher at Stanford University who conducted field work in both countries.
Sea turtles were protected under the US endangered species law of 1971, and in the 5th Mexico banned all captures of sea turtles. However, it took decades for the results of these activities – as well as trying to reduce the accidental bicchch in the nesting beaches and in the population trend, he said.
Wallace says around the world, after accidentally caught in phishing gear, the problem of the death of the sea turtle remains a major threat, Wallace says. New technology is being created to save the tortoises, but they must be acceptable and useful to be effective in various phishing communities.
The survey was published in the journal endangered species study and this is the first update in more than a decade.
