*Leatherback Sea turtle preservation

Leatherback: About 34,000 individuals.

ndigenous communities, particularly in regions like Cape York Peninsula in Australia and the Gulf of California in Mexico, have been at the forefront of conservation efforts for endangered sea turtles. These initiatives are driven by a deep cultural connection to the turtles, which are not only vital to local ecosystems but also hold significant cultural and spiritual importance for Indigenous peoples. The collaborative efforts between Indigenous rangers, scientists, and technology companies aim to protect vulnerable turtle populations from various threats, particularly predation by feral animals.
